Guess the flavour!

This week we are learning all about the sense of taste! We talked about what taste means, which part of our body we use to taste (our mouth) and which part of our mouth we use to taste. Some of us thought it might be our lips, some of us thought our tongue, some of us thought our teeth. To find out we had to eat something!

Our challenge this afternoon was to 'guess the flavour' - we talked about what 'flavour' means and how there can be different flavours of things, like different flavours of ice cream.

First we tried two different flavours of jelly. We found that we were using our tongue to taste the jelly! We had different ideas about what the flavours might be, including strawberry, chocolate, cherry, blackberry and raspberry. Then Miss Ayres told us the results - the first jelly was raspberry and the second was strawberry! We talked about how they tasted different and which one we liked best.

Then we worked in two groups on challenges with Miss Ayres and Mrs Waites. With Mrs Waites we had three different flavours of fromage frais to eat and guess the flavour. Well done to Lucy, Blue and Harry who all guessed the first one was strawberry! No one managed to guess the second and third flavours though - they were apricot and raspberry!

With Miss Ayres we had three different flavours of crisps to try. In our groups we wrote down what we thought they were before Miss Ayres revealed the results!

Crisp 1: Group 1 - Plain. Group 2 - Spicy. Answer - Ready Salted.

Crisp 2: Group 1 - Cheese. Group 2 - Onion. Answer - Cheese and Onion!

Crisp 3: Group 1 - Pepper. Group 2 - No idea! Answer - Salt and Vinegar.

Well done especially to Fallon, Summer, Emily, Jack and Olivia who all did some super writing.

What are your favourite flavours? Can you work out what flavour something is just by the taste?
