Them bones, them bones, them dry bones....

This week, year 5 have been combining science facts and maths skills to create mini skeletons of themselves!

To do this they measured how long key bones in their body were (e.g. spine, skull and rib cage) and then worked out what a quarter size of them would be.

Then they used this information to create moving mini skeletons, just like them!

Here are some pictures!!



Fantastic!!
Oh and a joke for you..... "Why didn't the skeleton go to the disco?"..... "Because he had no BODY to go with!!!!"
