Next week, We will be reviewing all of the senses learned so far: taste-touch-smell-sight and be introduced to the sense of hearing. We will explore various materials and describe the sounds they each make. We will be listening to sounds and try to guess what they are. These would be the questions asked by the children throughout the week:
How do you hear? With your ears? How many ears do you have? Where are they? How do they look like? Their sizes? Colors? What happens when you hear? Do you hear inside? Outside your ears? What sounds can you hear? Loud? Quiet? Sharp? soft?
The PSED lesson will be linked to the sense of hearing and the children will be learning about ‘listening’. To include Art will be making a flute.

Science
All of the non-core subjects are being combined. The first lesson of the week was the introduction to the book The Rainbow fish followed by an art activity. We then had the visit of Ann Byrant the author of numerous children’s books coming to our school to read us stories. This week has been filled with fun activities based on the theme of the Rainbow fish. We learned about fish and had a science experiment making bubbles with water and soap. We made rainbow fish with play dough and finish our book week with a class party.
