Learning at home resources and ideas for children aged 9-12 years
Learners in this age group are curious. They ask many questions and want thoughtful answers. They are starting to develop strong interests and hobbies and may like to collect things.
They enjoy problem solving and have points of view about many things they hear, read and see. They enjoy humour and telling jokes, and can be daring and competitive.
They are more independent, ready to take on greater responsibility for their learning.
