SCIENCE: 5 senses: Tasting game

In Science, we studied the 5 senses: SMELL, TOUCH, HEARING, SIGHT AND TASTE.

And we did an experiment in class to demonstrate that our taste buds in our tongue 

can taste 4 different tastes: SWEET, SOUR, BITTER, SOUR.

I took to class different types of food related to the 4 different tastes and children had to guess 

what it was and the taste it had.

They had fun and learned Science in a motivating way.

4th Grade: SCIENCE - PLANTS

This week, children at Primary 4th Grade went to the playground to observe PLANTS for SCIENCE.

They had to complete a MAP of our school by identifying all different types of plants:

deciduous trees / evergreen trees / cactus / ferns / mosses / bush / grass

Have a look at the video! They had fun and they learned English in a motivating way.

See you soon!
