This week the various ways we communicate with each other are explained and explored- body language, speech and sounds, music, letters and postcards, books and signs. We look at technology - computers, digital cameras, emails, mobile phones, radio, and text messages all form part of the play and reflect a child's environment. How animals and babies communicate also features.
