Year 1 Science

This week, we began our new science topic - Senses!

We began by looking at different body parts and the functions of these, such as the knee - it helps us to bend our leg and walk (have you ever tried walking without bending your knee!).  To help us we drew around an outline of one of our classmates and labeled the different parts.

We compared the labeled drawings and discussed if our ideas about what each body parts function was similar, addressing any misconception along the way.

We also talked to each other about what senses were and the parts of the body that we 'sense' the world around us.  Over the coming weeks we will investigate how some of the senses help us to understand some of the basic fundamentals of life such as taste, touch and sight that we often don't think about.
