Richard Young the Magician

We were excited to welcome back Richard Young to our school on Friday.  Richard Young is a teacher, magician, and a magical guest speaker.  The learners love watching his amazing magic shows.  In his performance today, we learned about:

• the 5 senses
• how our senses contribute to our safety
• that our senses have limitations, and identify situations where our senses might mislead us (optical illusions, tasting with a plugged nose)
• other living things have senses
• police officers use dogs to help them, because their sense of smell is so good
• A falcon can see a mouse walking in the grass 1 km away
• echo location
• ultra violet lights
• perspective, is when something is far away looks small.  For example, an airplane in the sky looks small.
• how to take care of our senses (wearing sunglasses, wearing a face mask, not listening to loud music).

A very important message we learned today was if you take care of your senses, your senses will take care of you. 

Have a great weekend!  

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Lai
