This week the children participated in a blind food tasting session: the aim was to investigate the link between our sense of taste and sense of smell. The children also thought about whether the foods were sweet, sour, bitter, salty, spicy, etc.

Today we began to understand the term ‘bio-diversity’.  We looked at images of living things found in woodland and began to realise there was a large variety of plant life, insects, animals and birds to be found.  Next we were tasked to collect small samples of plant life such as clover, leaf litter, bark, pine needles, lichen, and so on.  The best bit was going back to sit in our ‘special place’ to arrange our collections onto a sticky strip. We got the chance to show our partners our work and discuss our samples.  Again the weather was warm and sunny and it was nice to be in the dappled shade of the woods this afternoon.  Thank you to all the mums who came to help today.
