Mead Room




Dear Mead Room families and friends,

We have had a remarkable week investigating our amazing body!  It began with the realisation that we have a skeleton underneath our skin.  We were reading a book with a few skeleton illustrations when….

Lachlan – that's a skeleton
Ned – I saw one at the museum

 
Sage even put a skeleton together using the computer!
Then another book with more skeletons….

Harrison T – theres a little boy skeleton and a daddy skeleton. Then indicating the different skeletal parts Harrison concluded that; he's got feet and his toes, and legs, that's his head, that's his eyes…. Where's his skin?

Where indeed!

With Harrison's help we decided to discuss our body parts, (with the skin on!) and what they can do.

We traced around Miss Sarah's body and then brainstormed what we knew;

Harry – theres a brain in your head
Annie – a mouth to eat
Nicolas – eyes for looking
Loukas – a nose for smelling
Olive – our ears for listening
Stay tuned – we're discovering more and more amazing things our body can do!

 
Have a terrific weekend!
From Melissa and Sarah
