Children of Jr. KG were very excited for the entry point of the new unit of learning, ‘Loose Parts’ on 29th November. As the topic indicates, many loose parts were arranged by teachers in a special and creative way. A room was designed for the children with different materials to explore freely. With the help of these materials, different activities were planned emphasizing on the five senses – vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste. The curiosity of the children was fostered well by teachers surprising them with colourful lights, different musical sounds from non-musical instruments, shadow puppetry and many discrete substances to smell and taste. The ‘mystery bag’ activity was the icing on the cake as children enjoyed picking up the object, touching and feeling the object and trying to identify with their senses was worthwhile. What a way to start a new unit of learning!
