Using our senses

Today we starting exploring how we can use our senses to describe things. We had mystery objects that we had to investigate using some but not all of our senses. We then had to think of an adjective to describe the mystery object. The first thing we investigated was coffee granules, we were able to look at it and taste it! Most of us used the adjectives 'horrible and disgusting'! But some thought it was 'crunchy and yummy'. We then tried mint, we were allowed to smell it and taste it but not see it of feel it. Some of us were a bit scared to eat something we couldn't see, but most of us gave it a try! When Zack saw that it looked like a leaf he said 'I'm not a vegetarian'! We then used the sense of touch and sound to work out the mystery object which was rice. Finally we were really brave and had a go at trying these funny looking green things that Kingston said looked like 'old peas'. They were capers and almost everyone liked them even if some thought they were salty! Brooklyn was very proud of himself for eating it, especially after Mrs McLeod told him that his mother would never have tried it! It was a fun session coming up with describing words. Tomorrow we will begin to build our descriptions!
