skeleton dance

Vicki the bone expert visits us.

Vicki is Ryan's mum and she is a radiographer. She came to share what she knows about bones and that is a lot. We loved her bone suit and she even took a pretend xray of McKenzie's hands. Vicki was able to answer our wonderings about bones and she helped us to get to know so much more about them. What would you like to ask us? Would you like to wear a suit like this one? It was so cool! We made our own skeletons in class and we knew just where to put all the bones. We have Jim the skeleton in our room from Vicki and it helped us heaps. Thank you Vicki!

Our Most Amazing Machine

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.

Hello everyone! We are all back at school. Everyone had a great holiday. Room 10 has 4 new children........McKenzie, Lucy, Makayla and Renee. 7 of our children moved to Room 11. They are still our friends and we love to see them in the playground. That's Riley, Keira, Daniel, Melissa, Maia, Jacob and Louise.

Mount Bruce Trip

Last week we were lucky children. We visited Mount Bruce and we saw so many amazing creatures. We hope you enjoy our song and photos.

Hello everyone! It's been a long time since we put something on our blog. We have been busy finding out about spiders and ladybirds. Now we are finding the answers to our wonderings about snails. We already know a lot about snails. Do you know how a snail lays its' eggs? Well! We know the answer to that. Just come and talk to one of us if you want to know.

What are the builders doing?
