Senses - Is our hearing as good as a dog's? What's in the bag?

We tested our hearing to see if we could hear as well as a dog.  We wore a blindfold and used only our hearing to find the person making the noise. We enjoyed finding where the noise came from and found out that dogs can hear sounds before we can and that's why we have them as guard dogs.





 We tested our senses next by using touch. We used lots of adjectives to describe what we could feel. It was a bit scary at times because we didn't know what we might find in the bag!





Floating and Sinking

We collected an item from around the class and each of us made a guess as to whether it would float or sink. We were surprised with some of the items! Then we had a go at making our own floating vessel, it was musch trickier than we thought.
