Today we are going to learn about the sense of taste (I can taste with my tongue)
1- Start with Five senses song
2 – What have you tasted at breakfast/lunch today?
How did they taste?
Sweet (like honey)
Sour (like a lemon)
Salty (like crisps and sausages)
Bitter (like dark chocolate and cocoa powder)
3. Easter nest activity
Tracey had this great idea about cooking Science and I thought I would share it with you. Can you make an Easter nest? Find the recipe below or use your own.
Ingredients:
200g milk chocolate broken into pieces
85g shredded wheat, crushed
2 x 100g bags mini chocolate eggs
cupcakes case
Instructions:
Melt the chocolate in a small bowl placed over a pan of barely simmering water.
Pour the chocolate over the shredded wheat and stir well to combine.
Spoon the chocolate wheat into 12 cupcake cases and press the back of a teaspoon in the centre to create a nest shape.
Place 3 mini chocolate eggs on top of each nest.
Chill the nests in the fridge for 2 hrs until set.
Today’s story is the Gruffalo. I don’t have a copy of this at home so this is a youtube link which will take you to someone else reading the story. I hope you enjoy it!

Tomorrow’s story choices are …
In this book we meet What-a-Mess, a small Afghan hound. He does have a proper name but he has forgotten it because everyone who sees him always says ‘What a Mess!’
Or …
In this story Slinky Malinki (a cat) goes out to meet his friends. Find out what they get up to and where they all settle down at the end of the night.
Let me know which one you would prefer by replying to this post.

Science
Check out the Glasgow Science Centre facebook page – they post a live science video every day!
HWB
Make your mental health a priority today – things are only getting harder the longer we spend at home.
Today I am going to have a looong bath, do some reading (my favourite hobby!), sit in my garden and maybe cosy up and watch some Disney movies. Do something today that puts a smile on your face! 🙂
I hope everyone is well and is having a good day. Here are your suggested Science activities for the day.
Group 3 – Please could you continue with activities listed on Science at home sheets that were included in your take home packs. Why not try the bodies activities and watch an episode or two of Operation Ouch.
Groups 4 and 5Â –Â Go outside and try to find 5 different flowers. Take photos or draw them. Try to find out what they are by asking your family or looking online.
Watch this video clip of different Scottish plants to see if any of them are the same as the ones you found.
Let me know how you got on.
Groups 6 and 7 –Â Try this pet shadow matching activity and as you do say whether the animals are mammals / amphibians / birds / reptiles or fish
Then make a list of 5 more vertebrates and invertebrates.
If you want a challenge, try to find out what an exoskeleton is and what animals like Octopi have instead of a spine.
Let me know how you get on.
Group 8Â –Â Please could you continue with activities listed on Science sheets included in your take home packs. Why not try the senses activities and then have a go at learning this senses song:
Groups 9 and 11Â – Please carry on with your topic work. Remember we talked about this in school and I described the activity in last week’s Science post. I would really like to know how you are getting on so please reply to this post to tell me something you have found out. I can then share the information with the rest of the group.
