“The activating “H” space”
Sensory development is one of the key areas to address for children’s harmonious growth, as, in addition to fostering a relationship with the outside world, it serves as a fundamental learning channel for many future activities. Creating a small sensory workshop allows us to have useful tools at our disposal to support a child’s curiosity throughout different stages of growth and, at the same time, to enhance unexpressed skills in children with disabilities.
The goal of the ‘H’attivante space at the La Cittadella preschool in Novara is precisely to stimulate sensory perception using structured and unstructured tools. This helps achieve a greater awareness of one’s physical self in a collaborative peer environment, while offering a variety of ‘experiences to try’ that contribute to developing motor, language, and logical-mathematical skills by encouraging natural curiosity.
In July, we assembled the furniture and materials purchased, and at the same time, two murals designed and created by Manuela Tripepi were completed to brighten up the classroom.
On October 17, 2019, the classroom was officially inaugurated.
Here are some pictures of the classroom:
Here you can see Manuela Tripepi and Giulia Tangorra creating the murals that decorate the classroom:
