We have been looking at the human skeleton. We used biscuit dog bones to recreate the human skeleton.

Take a look at our pictures of what we think the human skeleton looks like. 

In one of our lessons, we went onto the playground and threw a vortex howler. We were doing an experiment to find out if people with long arms could throw further than people with short arms. Our investigation concluded that people with long arms (in our class) could throw further than people with short arms. 

As part of our unit on Education for sustainable development, we took part in the The Big Schools' Bird Watch. We made our own bird houses, our own bird feeders and we took part in the bird survey.
