Summer English Course (short duration) for 5 - 8 year olds from Santa Maria island, Azores - The 4th and 5th of August 2014 (afternoon)


I put the acquired experience, as far as the morning group is concerned, to good use in the afternoon group and didn't therefore encounter any resistance, despite having one particular difficult child in the group. We did quite a few different activities related to domestic animals, from having to identify and circle them as I said them out loud in English, to having to do them in origami or even put stickers with the images of  the various animals on a huge map as in accordance to a pre-defined design.












Tomas, Catarina, Tiago Ana and Vitoria E. in the back row (from left to right).  Matilde and Vitoria A. in the front row (from left to right).
























I can say we all had a great time doing it. There's no doubt children at these small ages are like "sponges" and do get extremely enthusiastic with whichever might be a novelty and despite the fact that some children had already had English at pre-primary school whilst others had very little knowledge if any, of the English Language.
