Explanation
I use my five senses to know the world: my eyes see, my ears hear, my nose smells, my tongue tastes and my hands feel. I am like other children in some ways and different in other ways. My family can be small or big. On a family tree, the oldest people go at the top. Families do things together and everyone helps at home. In my community, rules keep us safe. Helpers such as nurses, firefighters and police officers work for us.
Worked examples
