Y1 Science: Investigating Senses

22nd Sep 2025

Last week the children learned about their five senses and the different body parts they are linked to. 

  • smell - nose
  • sight - eyes
  • taste - tongue
  • touch - skin
  • hearing - ears

This week the children enjoyed engaging with a carousel of activities that involved testing their senses and using the key words linked to them. 

They experienced mystery smells; tasting unknown foods; describing how mystery items in bags felt; and using a magnifying glass to look carefully at shells, so they could be drawn with lots of detail. 

They also enjoyed being part of a fun whole-class listening game.
