Christmas is here again!
It's the most wonderful time of the year! it was all fun and joy at Rockies Int. School during the school's nine lessons and carols service. Our wonderful parents graced the occasion with their presence and our able students displayed/showcased their talents and abilities making it all memorable. See pictures below.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Creating curiosity in the minds of students during the learning process will enable them go all out to discover and learn more about the world in which they live.

Is The Best Among Equals.

LET LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT OUR SENSES

Did you know that we do all of our learning through our senses?
Today we are going to explore the OLFACTORY sense and see how we can help its development.

Did you know that in humans the olfactory sense plays an important role in our social and emotional experiences and how we remember them? Scientists have found that certain odours can trigger very powerful memories and can create within us both a sense of yearning and nostalgia. * WHAT IS THAT SMELL? *

Let’s look an activity today that allows us to stimulate the child’s olfactory sense in a fun way.
YOU WILL NEED

A number of small containers with lids
Cotton wool
Blindfold or scarf (optional)* A variety of liquids or solids with distinguishing smells. For example:
- vanilla/almond/peppermint essence
- vinegar
- lemon / orange juice
- perfume
- orange/lemon peel
- coffee / hot chocolate * Some children really enjoy the fun of using a blindfold, and others are not comfortable with their eyes being covered and would prefer to just close their eyes. Go with what suits your child best.

METHOD

1. If you are using a liquid, place a cotton wool ball into each container and add a few drops of the liquid on the cotton wool. Solids can be placed directly into the containers.

2. Close the lid and leave overnight for the liquid to really soak into the cotton wool or for the smell of the solid to fill the container.

3. Invite the child to do the smelling activity with you.
4. Explain that you need the child's OLFACTORY help! This gives you a perfect opportunity to introduce a new (long) word and to bring the child's attention to the purpose of having a nose!
5. Show the child the containers and explain that each of these containers has a mystery scent. The objective of this game is to use only their sense of smell to figure out what is in the container.
6. Invite to put on the blindfold or simply close his/her eyes.
7. Open the container and lift it to the child’s nose.

BENEFITS
This activity stimulates the child’s sense of smell and heightens his/her awareness this aspect of previously known foods which were probably initially linked to the taste experience.
