Our bodies have lots of parts. We see with our eyes and we hear with our ears. We smell with our nose and taste with our tongue. Our legs and feet help us walk, and our hands help us hold things. We have two arms, two legs and one head.

We have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. We touch and feel things with our skin, so we can tell if something is hot, cold, soft or rough. We taste with our tongue. Sweet, salty and sour are kinds of taste. A lemon tastes sour. Our senses help us find out about the world and keep us safe.

Animals are living things. A dog, a cat and a rabbit can be pets. A cow, a sheep and a pig live on a farm. A sheep gives us wool. A fish lives in water and swims using its fins. A bird has wings and is covered in feathers.

Plants are living things. A plant has roots, a stem, leaves and often flowers. The roots grow under the soil and take in water. The stem holds the plant up. Plants need water and light to grow. A tree is a big plant, and its hard, woody stem is called a trunk.

Everything is made of a material. Wood comes from trees. Glass is hard and you can see through it, so we use it for windows. Metal is strong and shiny. Plastic can be made into lots of different shapes. Wool is soft and warm.

There are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is autumn now. In autumn, leaves turn red, orange and brown, and fall off many trees. The days get shorter and the weather gets colder. After autumn comes winter.
