Everyone welcome! # Reception - our sense of smell ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1221.JPG) 5 October 2023 This afternoon Reception have been learning about our 5 senses and how they help us to understand the world around us. We talked about what each sense can help us to do - eyes to see, ears to hear, mouth to taste, hands to touch and our nose to smell. We then focused on our sense of smell and how this can help us to identify different things. We passed cups around to see if we could guess what was inside just from using our sense of smell. The children correctly identified coffee, vinegar and perfume but were unsure about cinnamon and peppermint!![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1221.JPG) [Reception](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1168.JPG)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-05-reception-hand-hygiene) Previous ### [Reception Hand Hygiene](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-05-reception-hand-hygiene) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1263.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-05-year-5-6-football) Next ### [Year 5 & 6 Football](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-05-year-5-6-football) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
