We have been learning about the 5 senses. \u00a0With me, they have been looking at our sense of touch. \u00a0 We measured how far our skin would stretch if you laid it out flat. \u00a0The children were fascinated to see how big an area it would cover! \u00a0We have been naming parts of our hands and skin and looking closely using magnifying glasses. \u00a0We have talked about the “receptors ” under our skin that send messages to our brains to help us make sense of what we are touching. \u00a0Very carefully, we tried using paper clips to help us feel which parts of our bodies were more sensitive to touch. \u00a0We have tried using just our sense of touch to name hidden objects.<\/p>\n
