We are all part of God's vine and are rooted in His rich soil. We are nurtured and supported so that we may grow and spread out into the world to love and to serve.
Home Learning Guidelines:
Use the grid below to help structure your child’s home learning. We would encourage children to complete at least 2 activities from each column and record their learning experience in their challenge book. This could be done in a variety of ways. For example, writing a few sentences about what they learnt, drawing a picture, sticking in a photograph, completing a thought bubble etc.
To support your child at home with reading we ask that your child reads at least 4 times a week. Remember there are lots of resources to support reading on our website.
There is no expectation that your child completes the home learning challenges if they are unwell or if circumstances at home are such that the completion of the tasks cause unnecessary stress and anxiety to the household.

Does food taste the same to everyone?
Main Activity
Resources:
Natural food dye (blue is ideal) Card or paper with a hole punched in it Cotton bud
1. Ask everyone taking part to wash their hands.
2. The person who is going to have their fungiform papillae (pink bumps) counted first needs to sit down comfortably with their elbows on the table, supporting their chin. They will probably need to sit like this for up to five minutes, so make sure they are comfortable.
3. Place a cotton bud into the mini cup of food dye until it is well coated. Ask the participant taking part to stick their tongue out. Using the cotton bud, coat the front third of the child’s tongue with the dye. NB: Only dip the cotton bud in the food dye once. Discard the cotton bud once it has been used.
4. The dye will stain the tongue but slide off the prominent pink bumps known as fungiform papillae. Each bump contains three to five taste buds.
5. Next, ask the participant to carefully place a hole-punched card on their tongue over the food dye.
6. Ask the other children in the group to count how many pink bumps they can see on the tongue inside the hole. The participant needs to try and keep their tongue still.
7. Record the number of pink bumps they can see. NB: The children should count the bumps on their tongue twice and average the result for accuracy.
8. A drink of water should wash away the food dye.
9. Clear away all equipment and discard all contaminated cotton buds and holed card. Finally, ask the children to wash their hands.
10. Look at the chart below and see how your sense of taste compares to the rest of the nation!
Number of Fungiform Papillae (Pink Bumps)
Type of Taster How common in population
0 - 5 Non-Taster One in four (25%)6 - 10 Taster One in two (50%)11 + Supertaster One in four (25%)
