Five Senses Fun in First Class!

First Class have had a great start to the new school year! We have settled in really well and are enjoying lots of learning and fun activities. We have been learning “All About Me” across a few curricular areas. In History we were discussing our personal history, examining pictures of baby toys, comparing what we can do now, with what we could do as a baby, and trying to guess who is who from our cute baby photos! In Science we explored the Five Senses. We imagined what it might be like to be missing your sense of sight by doing some blindfolded drawings. We learnt about the amazing Helen Keller and all about the Braille alphabet. We wrote our names in Braille using lentils and even created secret messages! We had some fun exploring our sense of touch by trying to feel what an object is and describe it without looking at it. We went on a Senses walk to see what we could see, hear, smell and feel along the way! PHOTOS TO FOLLOW…
