24 May Year 3 Explore their Senses in D&T Week
This week, year 3 have been exploring the five senses by preparing, flavouring and eating lots of different types of fruits, herbs and vegetables! We started the week by focussing on purple vegetables and then made fruit and herb salads! On one of the days, we investigated the role that our sense of smell plays in how we experience the flavour of foods. We tasted a mint leaf with our nose pinched and then again without pinching our noses. When we had our nose pinched the mint leaf didn’t taste of much, however as soon as we un-pinched our nose we realised that the mint leaf had a really strong flavour. We then used our sense of smell and taste to explore other herbs too. Everything was delicious!
