I hope you all enjoyed our holiday weekend! After a very busy week of learning in P6B, we were very glad to have an extra day to relax!

The new ‘Our Bodies’ topic is well underway and we are enjoying learning all about our amazing bodies and how they work. We began last week by exploring the Skeletal System. We learned to identify and name some of the main parts of our skeleton and created and labelled our own using art straws. We played a new version of ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ using the names of skeletal parts instead. It was fun!

Here we are creating our own skeletal systems –

We labelled some key parts –

Some comments from class this week were –

Fiona – I found it interesting that we have two lower leg bones called the Fibula and the Tibia. 

Luca – Phalanges is a very fun word to say and I think I’ll always remember it. 

Archie – I didn’t realise that Thyroids were a part of our body before! 

Keep watching the blog to find out what else we have been doing and learning about in P6!
