We had lots of fun investigating different smells.
Our classroom does not smell great today. We have some really disgusting smelling things in our bin.
Some smells were lovely, especially the chocolate but Mr Stewart will not be happy with the onion in our bin.
As you can see we liked some of the smells but not all of them.
We have been investigating our sense of hearing.
As part of our learning we found out that sound vibrates in our ears.
We made cord telephones to investigate the vibration of sound.
We have been having lots of fun with our senses topic.
We have been learning about the importance of our sight and how to keep our eyes protected. We also know The Creakers don’t like light so we designed glasses to protect their eyes from the sun. We tried them on to make sure they worked.
I am sure the children will have told you all about The Creakers and how much they like rubbish. I hope you agree the children have designed super glasses to protect The Creakers and their own eyes from the sun.
