First they had to be blindfolded and examine different kinds of leaves. The children touched, felt the texture, the size and edges of leaves. They crushed the leaf and smelled it. Using this information, they identified the leaf. Most children easily identified Omum and Aloe vera. Even Gulmohar was easy but they had forgotten the name. "Its the g,g,g one, Aunty!" For some reason, they kept saying "Neem!" at the drop of a hat. I think that's the name they're familiar with, but haven't quite internalised the shape/ smell of the leaf.




The children love this class - their first introduction to the wonders of the Small Science program.
