Learning About Our Senses

In Reception, we have been learning about our 5 senses linked to our topic 'All About Me'. The children have been investigating different smells, including coffee, strawberry, garam masala and peppermint. They then voted for their favourite as a class using a tally chart and their favourite was strawberry. They have also been tasting and talking about different flavours ranging from salty pretzels, savoury cheddar cheese, sweet lychees and sour lemon. Their faces were a picture! The taste which came out on top was the cheese, followed by salty pretzels as a close second. They then have been using magnifying glasses to investigate their finger prints, looking at the different patterns and lines they can see. With Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Wright, the children then created their own unique finger print paintings.
