We have been learning about The Senses. We researched the 5 different senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. In groups, we talked about, then drew and labelled our favourite thing to smell, taste, touch, hear and see. We discussed how our senses can keep us safe and help us make sense of the world around us.
We wanted to find out how easy it would be to complete tasks if we weren’t able to use all our senses.
We had some class volunteers take part in a blindfold challenge where they had to move around the room only listening to the instructions from the teacher. It helped us to understand how people who do not have sight have to rely on their sense of hearing and touch to help them move around their environment safely.
Our blindfolded volunteers enjoyed the taste test, where sweet and savoury items were given to taste and they had to identify the item. Some items were tricky but everyone managed to identify the chocolate!
