Enquiry
Children will play games and ask questions about what they can see, hear, feel (touch), smell and taste.

Reasoning
Children will explain the words they and others chose to describe objects and experiences.

Evaluation
Children will discuss success criteria for describing objects and experiences, give feedback to others and judge the effectiveness of their word choices.

Empathy and self-awareness
Children will hear or read about the sensory experience (and emotional reaction) of others and compare it to their own.

Communication
They will begin to develop their ability to discuss the language of poetry and to communicate their own observations and experiences through carefully chosen words. They will sometimes work collaboratively in pairs and groups. They will communicate outcomes orally, and in writing (possibly including ICT).
