In P2/1 we have started learning about our senses.  This week we are finding out all about our sense of sight.  We learned that we use of eyes to see and that our eyes send messages to our brains.

We used mirrors to look at the different parts of our eyes.

Skyla – The iris is the coloured bit of our eyes.

Aaron – The black circle in the middle is the pupil.  If you shine a light in your eyes it gets smaller.  It protects your eyes from the bright light.

Can you see what colour of iris these children have?

We learned about the job that our eyelids and eyelashes do.

Kayleigh – They protect our eyeballs from dust.

Adam – It helps to keep our eyes clean.

Some people in our class had longer eyelashes than others!

We decided that Calvin had the longest eyelashes!

We watched a video clip to find out how our eyes work and then we draw a picture of one of our own eyes in our books and labelled it.

We will be learning more about the sense of sight tomorrow…..
