Discovery Blog- 17.03.23

Look at what Zahida’s Class have been doing this week!

This week, we have been exploring the senses in science this term. The children have enjoyed tasting different foods to experience a variety of tastes and making their own telescopes to go and find hidden some hidden stars in the playground. We will be exploring different sounds and smells to engage our hearing and sense of smell. As part of our literacy we have been looking at different kinds of texts. The children have enjoyed our recent class story, How to Catch a Star and made their own stars. They enjoyed writing about the story and describing what a star of their own would be like.
