Year 1 - Taste The Rainbow!


Hi all,

We have had another busy week in year 1, which is pretty much the norm. Lots of REALLY good learning going at the moment. I don't know what you are feeding your children for breakfast, but please keep doing it, because little bits of steam are popping out their heads quite frequently! 


Yesterday we continued our learning about the 7 Continents of the world and made our own maps. Very impressed with the knowledge children already had about this! 


Today we continued our Science investigation into the senses. Today we looked at taste. Needless to say, we had to try some things. We looked at how the mouth can only really pick up on 4 main flavours - sweet, salty, bitter and sour (we left out umami!) As well as doing this we also looked more closely at what actually makes up the mouth. #
If any children came home asking if they could put their clean fingers into the side of their mouth to check what the inside of their cheeks feel like, I apologise - we got a bit curious about saliva!?

To wrap today off, the other half of the class got their first taste of Forest School with Catherine whilst the children who went last week, worked with Mrs. Webb on their art and crafts project.
