Babies
We were very lucky to have a visit from Freddie's mum and baby brother Jensen and Amelia's mum, dad and sister Georgia. We asked them lots of questions to find out more about how babies grow and change. We have also had fun this week looking at our baby photos and tried to guess who it is!

Our sense of taste
We have been learning about our five senses this week. Today we used our sense of taste to explore different tastes, such as sweet, sour, bitter and salty.
We talked about how something that tastes nice to one person, might not taste nice to another. We all have different likes and dislikes.
