Our ears give us the sense of hearing. With our ears we hear sounds — soft sounds like a whisper and loud sounds like thunder. We hear music, voices, birds, and cars.
Ears also help keep us safe. We hear a car horn and step back. We hear Mummy call and we come. We must take care of our ears. Never put anything inside them. Cover them when a sound is very loud.
Example: Sit quietly and close your eyes. Listen for one minute. What did you hear? A fan? A bird? A voice? Your ears heard it all, even with your eyes closed.
