Our experience of the outside world shapes our development, including through the use of our five senses —hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch.  This week the boys had a wonderful morning out at Forest School, increasing their understanding of and communication about the world around us, using all their five senses.

• Smelling the herbs and lavender found in our garden and the allotments
• Tasting stewed apple after picking windfalls scattered on the ground in the Dean’s garden
• Seeing a lone bee gather pollen from a flower, finding potatoes when digging in the soil
• Touching the different leaves, some soft like fur, and others prickly like a hedgehog 
• Hearing great shouts of excitement when discoveries were made!
