Exploring our senses!

Last week in our Science lesson we had great fun exploring our senses. We explored our sense of hearing by closing our eyes, listening to various instruments being played and trying to guess which instruments made the sound.
We explored our sense of taste by getting some children to close their eyes and taste various strong flavours.
Our sense of smell by covering up foodstuffs with powerful scents and trying to guess what they were. Items included lemon juice, coffee, crips, vinegar, barbecue sauce and popcorn.
Finally, we explored our senses of touch and sight by looking at objects such as seashells and Weetabix with our magnifying glasses.

The children then wrote up this lesson using the vocabulary learned in last weeks literacy lessons.
