Maple 2 tackled two lessons in one this afternoon by joining together their Food Facts session with their Literacy topic, Sensory Poetry. Firstly, the children discussed our five senses. The pupil explored their senses and pointed to the appropriate parts of their body linked with each sense. Next, they explored the cereals. The children communicated with speech and symbols about the feel, smell, look, sound, and taste of four different types of cereals. The pupils discussed which ones they liked or didn’t like and why. As a group, they then chose their favourite and used it as the focus of our sensory poem. This group chose multigrain hoops and worked well together to think up good adjectives to describe the feel, smell, look, sound, and taste. They worked brilliantly as a team to complete each line in the poem and were proud of their final work. Once finished, they performed their poem reading a line each.
