Science- Identifying the bones of a skeleton.

Date: 11th Mar 2020 @ 9:57am

During science this week we started with the question what is a skeleton? In pairs the children discussed this and were then asked which bones they could already name.

The class were shown a video featuring an informative song, and the children made notes of key facts.

The children enjoyed the game ‘five lives’ choosing a side of the classroom they thought was the correct answer. The winners were the last ones standing on question 10. From this they learnt the meaning of  vertebrates and invertebrates, and the children were then able to identify different animals within these categories.

We then created skeleton puppets using paper fasteners so they could dance to the song in the video shown. As an extension the children began to label their skeletons using the information they had learnt.
