We have been using our senses a lot this week, at KM!
First, we all did a 'magic milk' science experiment. If you're interested in how we did it, have a look at this link:
Magic milk science experiment
I'm sorry that some of the photos are not rotated - I have had some problems with my camera and uploading! I hope you enjoy looking at them, anyway. Here is the set up of the table all ready for KM to experiment on!
Nari and Lucy said that they wanted to see what happens to the blue when they put it into milk. Mayumi started with red because she wanted to make the milk pink.
Ploen liked making her milk tray pink because it's her favourite colour!
Mungkorn tested out two colours and loved seeing how they mixed!
Irene opted for green because she said she likes green a lot!
Lucas wanted to make his tray very red and didn't like seeing it so pink!
Arthur made a beautiful pattern with his magic milk tray!
Gap and Lexi didn't want to add too much and took their time to observe what happened.
Freya and Totem really liked how the colours moved out when they put the cotton bud (first dipped in soap) in!
Harry and Linin stuck to one colour before adding more.
So did Porsche and SunLee.
Pailin started with light blue and had a dark brown milk tray at the end!
EQ made a very unique pattern with his magic milk tray!
Look at some of the colour patterns that we made!
Then, we did a 'smelling experiment'. I mixed in some smells in paint and asked the children which ones they liked and which ones they thought were 'yucky!'. Some of the smells included: vanilla, cinnamon, chilli, coffee and even Sri Lankan spices!
Here they are smelling the paint before choosing the ones that they liked.
Mayumi thought it was very funny, but liked purple!
Lucy did not like the smells at all!
Pailin didn't want to smell yellow even though it was vanilla!
Ploen was scared to smell it after seeing her friends' faces!
Nari did not like purple and green, as you can tell by her face! :)
I joined in on the smelling too!
Linin was cautious but really liked it in the end.
Porsche thought it was funny when I asked him to smell the paint!
Totem almost put his face in because he liked the smells!
Here we all are smelling it again!
Irene thought it was very funny!
EQ looked cautious and shook his head at almost all the smells! :)
Mungkorn couldn't wait to smell yellow, he said purple was 'yucky!'
Here is Lucas and SunLee telling me about which ones they liked and which ones were yucky!!
As a home activity, please ask your children to smell what is around them and try to guess what those smells are. Ask them if it's nice or yucky, whether they like it or not and ask them to tell Miss.Myshi about it. I would love to hear what they've been upto at home :)
Also, here is a song about the five senses, that you can practice with your child at home. We will be doing this in class, this week!
