The five senses!

In Year 1 we've been learning what we do with our eyes, nose, ears, hands and tongue!! Sing with us the Five Senses Song!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBssVPP3VTg&feature=related

How many senses do you know? (x 3)

Come have a guess! Have a go!

Seeing is what we do with our big round eyes

Looking at the flowers, the clouds in the sky

Roses are red, violets are blue

The colours of the rainbow shining just for you

Chorus

Hearing is what we do with our ears on our head

Mummy’s still calling get out of bed

The playground bell is ringing out loud

Listen to your teachers make them feel proud.

Chorus

You smell with the bump in the middle of your face

The dinner hall is my favourite place

I can smell the chips and the biscuits too!

Take a deep breath Mmm that smells good!

Chorus

Taste is what you do with the tongue in your mouth

Taste buds north east west and south

Helping us decide what we like to eat

Crisps are really salty chocolate’s sweet!

Chorus

Hands help us touch, things all around

Helping us explore the things we have found

Feeling if it’s rough smooth or hot

Helping us decide if we pick it up or not.

Reusing in Year 4

Did you know you can make lots of useful things from recycled products. You can make a nice pencil holder from a milk carton, a magazine pocket from a cereal box, a toy telephone from some yoghurt pots. The list is endless. Year 3 did a fantastic job reusing stuff from home. Take a look at the photos.

Starting with the Three R's in Year 4

Hi, we're studying about energy and saving energy in Year 4. Yesterday we studied the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Here's a good way to reuse something you would normally throw away. Try making this pocket to keep your magazines and books tidy.

Baking in Year 5

In every edition of the English magazine I love English Junior, there is a recipe that you can make at home. The students in Year 5 took the recipes, changed a few things and the result was these lovely cakes and biscuits. Mmmmmmmm Delicious!

English in Year 3
