Cooper Room


Dear Friends of the Cooper Room,

    This week we investigated our skeleton! We wanted to see what we looked like on the inside.

“Bones keep us strong, bones help our body to move,” said the children as they looked closely at our class skeleton. Using dried pasta the children have created an image of their skeleton on card, others have tried to paint the bones they  can feel under their skin.  Many of the children have taught us the name of different bones – “the skull is our head bone,” said Domenic and “we have a funny bone too!” added Luca. On Friday we began singing the old favourite “Dem Bones” as we learnt how all the bones work together to make us move.

   We also spent time drawing our self-portraits – what we look like on the outside! It is interesting to see the way the children are developing their observation skills and starting to add more details and expression to their faces. Come in and see your Cooper gallery!
 
 

 
kind regards
