Today the children have been learning the correct name for human bones. They then had the chance to construct their own skeletons.

We are very grateful to Mrs Gilbert (Beatrice’s mum) for coming into school today. Mrs Gilbert is a vet and was able to talk to the children about some animal skeletons.

The children asked some very interesting questions and enjoyed holding the bones.

The children have been having an amazing time trying to piece together a full skeleton using their bone charts.

Today we have been investigating owl pellets as part of our topic on skeletons.

The children had to work out the age of the pellet and which owl it belonged to. Once inside the pellet they had to pull out the bones and identify the animal that had been eaten.
