We have started an exciting new topic in p4 called ‘The Human Body.’ We decided that we wanted to start our learning by investigating the skeleton. First up, we explored some non-fiction texts to help us find out some facts about the skeleton…

 

 

Then, we watched a really interesting video that helped us to name some of the bones in the skeleton…

 

 

We then had to put a skeleton together and label as many bones as we could. We found out that thigh bone is called the femur and that it’s the longest bone in the human body!

 

 

After all that, we took part in a group challenge. We worked in groups against the clock to make a giant skeleton. We had to figure it all out in our teams and then label the bones with as many correct names as we could remember…

 

 

Finally, we named our skeletons and gave a short class presentation…

 

 

Now we’re off to explore the muscles in the human body!
