We have just begun our inquiry unit for this term on Our Most Amazing Machine. We think it is cool to call our body a machine. We put Lachlan on a big, huge piece of paper and then we drew around him. The paper was only just long enough. We think he must have grown taller in the holidays!! Then we thought of all the parts we knew on the inside and the outside. We knew heaps of outside parts and we will know so many more inside parts when we find answers to all our wonderings as we go along through our learning.
Today we looked at the skeleton that Ryan's Mum gave us to help us with our learning. We could feel lots of our bones just like the ones we could see on the skeleton. We watched a skeleton dance and a skeleton telling us about the bones on Youtube for children. The skeletons were funny and they helped us with lots of the names of the bones.
We wonder.........
Can you twist your bones?
How does your mouth open?
What are all the bones called?
What do bones actually do when we move?
How do broken bones mend?
Do we have ear bones and nose bones?
Ryan's Mum is coming to talk to us because she knows a lot about bones. She takes xrays.
