Year 1 Observational Walk

Date: 18th Sep 2023 @ 5:36pm

Today we began our second lesson on senses. We recapped the fact that we have five senses and the body part associated with each. We then focused on hearing and sight. Firstly, we talked about the sense of hearing, which body part we use and what is happening when we hear. We played sound bingo with a range of common sounds. We had to listen very carefully!

After this we moved onto our sense of sight. We again discussed which body part we use and what is happening when we see something. We then did an illusions test! Some of us could see both pictures and some of us could only see one! We also learnt the different parts of our eyes, including eyelashes, eyebrow, pupil and eyelid.

We realised that there are lots of things we do that use more than one sense! We then went on an observational walk around our school grounds, inside and outside, focusing on what we could see and what we could hear. We stopped on the playground, closed our eyes and focused on the sounds around us. We also walked through school and listened to the sounds coming from all around our school!
