Our Senses

For our topic lesson today we learnt all about our 5 senses and how they help us. We worked on our sense of smell, sight and touch by exploring the new herbs for our outdoor area, these were oregano, mint, spearmint, lemon, curry plant and rosemary. For some of them we could smell them easily and for others we rubbed them gently and then smelt our fingers to he,p us identify the smells.
In small groups we also visited the new sensory garden in the infant playground to look at the different plants and herbs that have recently planted. Whilst there we also tested our sense of hearing by listening for all the different sounds from that part of the school.
