Everyone welcome! # Year 1 Science: using our sense of taste ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/F7F6D42B-30E2-460A-A60A-79DD421E65CF.jpeg) 27 November 2025 Today in Science, we used our sense of taste to identify, describe and rate different flavours. Firstly, we looked at each other’s tongues to spot the tiny bumps, which are our taste buds. Then, we discussed that foods have different flavours, such as sweet, spicy, bitter, sour and salty. Year 1 had to use their scientific skills to identify which flavour matched the food. They tried banana, lemon, dark chocolate, ginger biscuits and salted popcorn. They then rated the food out of 10 depending on how much they liked the flavour. It was great to see that all the children tried the foods, even if they knew that they didn’t like them. Well done Year 1!![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/F7F6D42B-30E2-460A-A60A-79DD421E65CF.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/375DB323-741B-48C7-8DB3-9D85FBACA372.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-26-reception-pshe-teamwork) Previous ### [Reception-PSHE- Teamwork ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-26-reception-pshe-teamwork) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-6036E417-9D42-40E5-9045-13DFCFD054DD.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-28-year-3-class-worship-the-spread-of-christianity) Next ### [Year 3- Class Worship- The Spread of Christianity](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-28-year-3-class-worship-the-spread-of-christianity) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://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://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
