Today our little investigators took part in an activity to explore our senses. Following on from exploring our sense of smell, today we looked at our sense of touch.<\/p>\n

A selection of item\u2019s were chosen and hidden inside our mystery bag. Using our sense of touch the children had to guess what was inside the bag. They were encouraged to use descriptive words to describe what they could feel. Once they had made their predictions they were asked to mark make to record their findings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bellow are some of the items we were exploring along with our drawings and comments. <\/span><\/p>\n

First up was a woolly glove! We took it in turn to feel inside the bag and make our predictions. Then we drew pictures to record what we thought it could be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels soft\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a glove I can feel the fingers\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be a hat\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not hard it\u2019s soft\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up was a feather! Again we used our senses to explore inside the bag and mark make to record our findings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a feather I can feel the soft parts\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s got a sharp spiky bit\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really fluffy\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last thing we explored inside the bag was a carrot! Lots of discussion took place to decide what it could be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not mushy it\u2019s hard\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a cold carrot from the kitchen\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s got lines on it I can feel them\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dit could be a banana\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well done everyone! lots of amazing descriptive words used and lots of amazing drawing to recording our findings. The group managed to identify all the items inside the bag.\u00a0 They<\/span>\u00a0worked together as a team to share our predictions and make decisions.
