Guest Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Can you fit all the senses in one week? We usually focu on one per week (autumn term, though). Also, will you be looking at how the children have changed/ will change with growth; and their place in the family?

Guest Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 52757[/snapback] Hi - we have just finished a similar topic and one of the best supported areas was the "bring in a smell" part! We encouared the children to dip a piece of cotton wool in something at home and bring in the sample in a small plastic bag!!!! ( clues on a small piece of paper for those who couldn't fathom it!) Everyone had to guess what the smell was and the parents got verrrry involved!!!

Did you get any really unusual smells? Peggy

Perhaps you could cover a variety of gross motor skills through an obstacle course, e.g. I can jump with 2 feet together, I can hop, I can skip, I can ride a tricycle/bike etc.
Guest Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 As a parent with teenage boys who play football and rugby - I could guess what may have come up!! If I was being sensible though, lavender, Vick, onion, almon oil etc etc Nikki
Guest Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 For smells we've also done toothpaste, cheese and onion crisps, vinegar and chocolate powder

Peggy 52778[/snapback] they were mainly kitchen/food smells...but my favourite was Grandad who sent in cotton wool dipped in oil from his lawn mower!!!
AnonyMouse_79 Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 how exciting! so much more fun than trying to identify a few smells provided by the teacher----I must try and remember this one!
