In Science before Easter, Rang a Sé learned all about the bones of the body. Eshaal and Emma tell us all about what was a very interesting and active lesson.
Yesterday in class we learned about the bones in our bodies with Miss Bermingham.
First we did a quiz about how much we knew about the bones in our bodies.
After that we listened to a power point. We played ten questions about the bones for ten minutes.
Then in our pods, Miss Bermingham gave us an envelope with the body parts and we guessed the parts of it.
Afterwards, we corrected what we worked on. A few examples of the bones we learned were Radius (arms), Cranium (skull), Carpal (wrist), Thoracic cage (ribcage) and more.
Great teamwork from Grupa Glas.
