Five senses stations were set up in class.  Children had to guess what the objects were by using their senses.  They used their sense of touch by touching the different objects, one at a time, found in a plastic tray.  Their eyes were covered again, with a piece of cloth, and students had to guess what the objects were bu using their sense of smell.  Students had to taste the different types of food presented to them.  Finally, pupils listened to sounds from the interactive whiteboard and had to guess what they were.  When participating in these sessions students were able to describe the object/s by using language related to the five senses, for example: soft, loud, sour, sweet, salty, rough etc…  In so doing, this lesson was also integrated with the English Oracy lesson.
