Year 1 Topic - Senses

We have been learning about the five senses and the five sense organs that we have on our bodies. We carried out some activities using our sense organs. 

First we picked out gems from a bowl of spaghetti and Jelly. We used our sense of touch. "It is slimey and sticky!"

Then we used our sense of smell to identify different foods. We could smell coffee, lemon, vinegar and garlic. "Urgh the garlic is stinky!"

Next we put our hands inside boxes to feel different objects. We used our sense of touch. "I can feel something soft and fluffy!"

Finally we made a shaker using rice or beans. We used our sense of hearing. " It sounds loud when we all shake our shakers!"

Tomorrow we are going to use our sense of taste by tasting different fruits.
