We all know sensory exploration is an important key factor in the development of the child.It is also one of the tactile learning style in which learning takes place by students carying out physical activities. Its benefits the the child in many ways.
1.It builds nerve connections within the developing brain’s neural pathways, which trigger a child’s inclination for and ability in competing more complex learning tasks.
2.It supports language development, cognitive growth, motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.
3.It aids in developing and enhancing memory functioning.
4.It is great for calming an anxious child.
Keeping all this in mind, a sensory path has been pasted in the Cambridge Corridor. These are the senses that we're born with and quickly adapt with as we journey through our initial development phases.
Each of us experience them in slightly differing ways, and some will ofcourse suffer additional challenges or certain limitations to one or more sense,but we will all go through life engaging with the world in large part through our senses.
In this day and age,there are a plethora of activities used to engage children,many aimed at helping them experiment with the key attributes associated with the predominant senses as they grow,both in home and educational environments.Through sensory play,the child can learn to block out the noise which is not important and focus on the play.
It focuses on their kinesthetic skills, coordination, curricular topics, focus and immediate reward.For example,a child may find it difficult to play with other children when there is too much going on in their environment with conflicting noises or sights.
Child completes a sensory path where they will jump at certain intervals, takes slow steps down a path, jump on planets, colours, and shapes and places his hand on handprints on the wall and pushes as hard as they can.
This path is used several times throughout the school day when kids need a break or just be a kid when they can’t keep their wiggles still.
