Science Center Fun!

Today we went to the science center. It was so much fun! 
We went to a special classroom to learn about  the 5 senses.

• We used our sense of hearing to listen to some sounds and then we picked the picture that matched the sound we heard.  
• We used our sense of touch to try the bed of nails and some of us played in the water making boats
• We used our sense of sight to watch a demonstration about fire with different colours and size of the flames.  We also used a dinosaur light to look closely at things.  
• We used our sense of smell when we went down a big metal slide that had a funny metal smell and when we smelled the tar at the outside park.
• At lunch tine we used out sense of taste  

We had so much fun and can't wait to tell our parents all about it!
