Our class has been full of bones this week as we have been learning about the skeleton. We have been using some fabulous resources such as a model skeleton, a velcro life-size puzzle , loads of interesting factual books and we have played some learning games and watched some facinating video clips on the internet.
Here are a few a facts we have learned:
* humans have 206 bones
*the biggest bone is the femur in the thigh
*the smallest bone,the saddle, is in the ear
*the rib-cage protects the main organs
*bones are connected by joints
I think you have all been working very hard – what interesting facts you have discovered. I was wondering if you had given your class skeleton a name??? He looks pretty happy to be helping you out with your research!
