Practitioners may plan a project based on 'the senses' on its own, or as part of a much larger theme on 'ourselves'. The project should cover all five of our human senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
This theme covers all six areas of learning, but above all supports children 'exploring and investigating', which is one part of Knowledge and Understanding of the World. However, a project such as 'the senses'
shouldn't comprise solely adult-led experiences and activities.
All adults working in the team need to consider very carefully the vocabulary they will be introducing and modelling throughout the learning provision.
