Grade R @
Castle Bridge Independent school
Middle childhood brings many changes to a child’s life. By this time, children can dress themselves, catch a ball more easily with only their hands, and tie their shoes. Developing independence from family becomes more important now.

Events such as starting school bring children this age into regular contact with the larger world. Friendships become more and more important. Physical, social, and mental skills develop rapidly at this time. This is a critical time for children to develop confidence in all areas of life, such as through friends, schoolwork, and sports.

Here are some changes your child may go through during middle childhood:

Emotional/Social Changes

-More independence from parents and family.
-Stronger sense of right and wrong.
-Beginning awareness of the future.
-Growing understanding about one’s place in the world.
-More attention to friendships and teamwork.
-Growing desire to be liked and accepted by friends.

Mental/Cognitive Changes

-Rapid development of mental skills.
-Greater ability to describe experiences and talk about thoughts and feelings.
-Less focus on one’s self and more concern for others. 
 
Castle Bridge Independent
Primary School, Bloemfontein
Situated in Bloemfontein, Castle Bridge Independent Primary school is focused on the child as an individual. As independent school we aim to stimulate the individual in such a way that he or she can work towards a self-developed and independent future. It is very important to us as educators to assist the pupils in becoming self-sufficient and on a level with which they are familiar.

Life skills and value-driven skills are integrated into all learning areas and this is the focus of our academic education.

Our Primary school educators take the necessary steps to improve the English language competence of each learner during the course of the Grade 1, 2 and 3.

Learners are encouraged to progress through the language course until their language competency matches their chronological age. At Castle Bridge Primary School we value each student as an individual and aim to help each learner reach the highest levels of his or her own achievement.
