In Early Learning at Northbridge International School Cambodia, we provide daily opportunities for sensory play and exploration. Sensory play is when children engage in any learning experience that stimulates the use of their senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing.
There is a wealth of research that states that when children engage in sensory experiences, it increases learning opportunities and provokes the pathways in the brain to connect at a deeper level.
It provides crucial benefits for our children, such as:
Sensory play builds connections in the developing brain’s pathways, which increases a child’s ability to complete more challenging learning tasks.
Sensory play supports in developing and enhancing memory functioning
Sensory play is great for cognitive growth, enhancing a child’s thought processes, and the ability to reason and understand
Sensory play helps children learn vitally important sensory attributes (hot, cold, sticky, dry).
Most importantly, sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, motor skills development, problem-solving skills, and social interaction.

When people think about leadership, what often comes to mind are the concepts of power, decision making, delegating and innovation. Seldom does one think about care, empathy, kindness, and generosity – however these traits that highlight the emotional skills for successful and effective leadership, including by students at Northbridge International School Cambodia, are just as important.
What are the Primary Arts all about? Is it just a load of fun and messing around? It is fun, which is why we love it but there is so much more to the programme than some people might think.
Take a visit to our early learning spaces at Northbridge International School Cambodia, both inside and out, and you will observe a wealth of play activities happening. Students are interacting in playing on their own (solo play), playing with the same thing or in the same space (mirrored play) or sharing together (collaborative play).
