In Holly Class we are exploring our sensesWe have been looking at all our senses.We have been smelling different things. We learnt about sound, wearing blindfolds and following our friend's voices. We tried to block sound out with different materials and made high, low, loud and quiet sounds. We felt vibrations in ballons and from a speaker and watched sound vibrations on clingfilm.
We also experimented with touch and tried to feel with our hands and feet. We felt water of different temperatures and described what we felt. We sorted things that felt rough and smooth and tickled each other with feathers to find out where we felt things the most.
