Our topic this term is ‘The Body’ and we have begun by learning about the skeleton.
We discovered that babies have 300 bones but as they grow some bones fuse together until they end up with 206.
We also found out that our longest bone is our thigh bone: the femur.
Our task today was, working in our co-operative groups, to make a child-sized human skeleton using paper cut-outs. We had to look at our posters to check we were gluing everything in the right place. We also had to label some of the major bones correctly.
We had to make sure we were following our ‘group norms’ and working well together.
We had to complete the task in less than 45 minutes! The winning team were given a special prize.
In our co-op groups we were making group norms. A group norm is a certain rule that you have to follow when you are working in your co-op group. The norms had to be in persuasive writing. This means they are written in a positive way. We had to have three group norms. We all had to decide on the ones that we wanted.

Primary 4/5 took part in the Wee Sleep Out Sumdog challenge with another 871 classes from around Scotland. They finished 18th and Murry came 31st out of 19,115 pupils which is a fantastic achievement!
Primary 4/5 will be in separate concerts this year with P3 and P4 working together and the P5 joining P6/7. So far have had 2 weeks of practice with Izzy Swanson and we will be getting scripts and songs to learn soon!
Only 5 weeks until the big performance!
