Year 1 Our Sense of Touch

Date: 11th Sep 2023 @ 5:36pm

Today we began to explore our five senses by naming each sense and the part of the body that is to do with each sense. We then focused specifically on our sense of touch. We recapped on the different parts of the hand, including thumb, palm, skin and wrist. As a class, we then discussed what is touch? What happens when we touch something? And is it only our hands that we touch with?

‘We touch with our skin!’

‘Your sense of touch tells you if something is hot or cold.’

We talked about what is safe and unsafe to touch, completed ‘I can feel’ sheets, labeled the properties of these objects and completed a mystery box feely activity.
