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.
