Today we learned about our sense of smell. The children learned that our noses have a very important part to play in helping us taste when we eat and drink.

We also spoke about how our sense of smell can help us decide whether we might like or dislike a particular food or drink.

Everyone took part in a science experiment. We had twelve different bags, each with a different smell inside of it. The children took it in turns to have a sniff and then tried to guess what was in the bag.

We have some very good noses in P1/2!

There were lots of fantastic describing words being used and also some very funny faces when they were met with strong and stinky scents…
