My Five Senses...and where I can use them!






Reception had a fabulous day out last week in search of ways to use their senses...which ones do you think you would use when you visit the Taffy factory? They listened when they were told how the various sweets were made; they saw the Taffy being cut and wrapped; they were able to smell the delicious, sweet aroma of the Taffy and the chocolate; they felt the stickiness of the Taffy and the crinkly papers they are wrapped in...and finally they were able to taste their chocolate covered pretzels...mmmmmm!!

After that they went to Dolphin Discovery where they were allowed to go in the water with the dolphins and feel how smooth and soft they are - they had to listen VERY carefully to the instructions. What a great day out!

Colour Mixing












We had great fun mixing primary colours to see what other colours we could make. We mixed them by putting one hand in one colour and one hand in another colour of paint...we printed with our hands - and then we rubbed our hands together to see what would happen...you can see too!!
