The Senses – Sight

As part of our science focus this term P2S have been learning about their senses. This week we have been learning all about our eyes and our sense of sight.

Firstly, we learned all about the different parts of the eye. Then we drew a picture of our eye and labelled its parts.

On Thursday, we were very lucky to have a visit from 2 guide dogs and their trainers. We learned lots about people who are blind and how these wonderful animals help them to keep safe.

On Friday, we learned about Braille and how it allows blind people to read. We used our new knowledge to make our names in braille using lentils.

To finish off our focus on sight, we had the chance to experience what life might be like if we were blind. Wearing a blindfold, and with a little help from our partners, we explored the playground. It was really tricky and some of us found it quite scary too!

On Monday Elvis asked us to sort through some different Christmas objects investigating whether or not they were magnetic. The children had lots of fun carrying out this activity and we learned some information about magnets and forces. We love science!

Our trays were full of lots of Christmas things all made of different materials.

The children worked well together recording their findings as they went along.

We have been learning about how to control our anger. We put angry faces, happy faces and sad faces on Jo, our body board. We enjoyed using the body board because there were different parts, for example the hands, feet and thoughts. We would like to use it again to explore other feelings! (Poppy, Sean and Carrie)

 

As part of our learning context, we have been learning about how to keep ourselves healthy. We decided to set up an experiment to investigate the effect of different liquids on our teeth. We used eggs to experiment on. Below you can see what 24 hours in the different liquids has done. We were very shocked by the red bull and ribena!
