What’s happening in Year 1 – Week 1

In Science this half term, Year 1 are continuing to focus on the biology unit, Animals including Humans. The focus of their learning is moving away from looking at classifying animals and thinking about their diets, to now beginning to explore the parts of human bodies, including the specific uses of our 5 senses.

This week, the class launched their new focus by using their sense of taste to categorise different foods. They learned that scientists believe all humans have 5 distinct tastes: sweet, sour, savoury, bitter and salty. Take a look at what the children got up to in their tasting session!
