Today, in our Five Senses learning journey, we turned our attention to the sense of sight. Oscar Owl helped us to practice our 'seeing' skills as we played the My Five Friends Seeing Game. This is available on the class website. Afterwards, we had fun singing the 'I Use My Eyes To See' verse from the My Five Senses Song (available on the website). Several of the children contributed ideas for things we might see with our eyes during the song.
Oscar Owl asked the children to make a special blog post about 'Things I like to see'. The children took turns telling everyone what they like to see, and Mrs Gately typed their answers into a Word table, which we then posted to this blog. Oscar Owl had sent a special slideshow with some Magical Moving Pictures (available on class website) for the children to see. This was quite exciting for them to watch. "It makes my eyes go funny!" was quite a common exclamation! After they recovered :) they drew and painted some of their favourite things to see.
Afterwards, we remembered Sensible Sam, and we thought that he might enjoy looking at the wonderful artworks the children had created. "But wait!" we said, "He has NO eyes!" We decided today would be a good day to give Sensible Sam his eyes, so that he can enjoy seeing all the things that we do! We then watched and listened to a YouTube music video called 'Mr R's Eyes Song', which is also available on the class website.
