2. Year 4.4 Science Five senses

3.  We have five senses they are the sense of touch, taste, hearing, seeing and smelling.

4.  Touch is the sense we use to feel things.  Thus we can tell if something is hot or cold, soft or harsh, wet or dry.  This sense is useful and helps protect us from injuring ourselves.  It also helps us to appreciate the things around us. I love caressing my soft pets and feeling my cozy soft blanket at night

5.  We taste food thus we can realize if it is sweet, sour or bitter.  We can tell if food is savory or sweet.  Spaghetti with meatballs is savory whereas strawberries are a sweet fruit.

6.  We hear music and the beautiful sounds of nature.  The birds in the trees and the howling of the wind or the patter of rain on a stormy day.

7.  Sight is the sense of seeing.  It helps us to enjoy the beauty of nature, a rainbow after a storm, butterflies and flowers.  We use our sight to read and write and to discover interesting things.  We can also see TV and relax after a hard day of studying.  We also use our eyes to cross the road and keep safe.

8.  We smell through our noses and depending on whether the smell is pleasant or not we decide what we like.  We can smell the flowers in spring and the fragrance of perfume.  We smell our food and if it smells delicious we enjoy it more. But the smell I like most is that of hot chocolate.  The sense of smell can also protect us. If we smell smoke or other bad smells we can move away to safety.
