Last week we explored our senses even more deeply through a variety of investigations. Mr. Jacobson, our PYP coordinator, came in to help us examine our sense of smell and its tie to memories. After smelling a variety of smells we discussed what the smells made us think of or reminded us of. At the same time, another group explored its sense of hearing and the connection between emotions and sounds. We realized that different sounds and types of music create different emotions.
We also explored our sense of touch more deeply by going on a texture walk. By using touch we noticed that things feel differently and can sometimes give us signals as to whether something is safe or not. We made texture rubbings to create visual representations and found connections between objects of similar textures. Encourage your child to explain these texture words to you.
We have wrapped up our Unit of Inquiry on the five senses and will be moving into a new Unit on imagination. Stay tuned!
