Senses

 

Junior Infants have been exploring their senses, focusing this week on the sense of taste. As part of their learning, they had the opportunity to observe and try a variety of foods representing the four main tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, and sour. The children were excited to sample different items such as jelly tots for sweet, popcorn for salty, natural yoghurt for sour, and lemon for bitter. They discussed how each food made them feel and described the different flavours, helping to build their vocabulary and understanding of how taste works. It was a fun and engaging way to learn more about their senses through hands-on experience.
