Our Five Senses
We have five senses that help us learn about things around us. Each sense uses a part of our body.
- Sight uses our eyes to see colours and shapes.
- Hearing uses our ears to hear sounds.
- Smell uses our nose to smell things.
- Taste uses our tongue to taste food.
- Touch uses our skin to feel if things are hot, cold, soft or hard.
Key idea
Eyes see, ears hear, nose smells, tongue tastes, and skin feels.
Senses Help Us Every Day
Our senses keep us safe and happy. We see a red light and stop. We hear a friend call us. We smell nice food.
Example
When you eat an orange, your tongue tastes it is sweet and your nose smells it is fresh.
