We have been learning about the skeleton in Year 3. The children learned that the skeleton is designed for movement; It gives us support; and finally, it helps protect some of our vital organs. The brain is protected by our skull and our heart and lungs are protected by our rib cage. So it was time for a challenge. Could we create a skeleton like structure with limited resources to protect a (boiled) egg?
The week before, we learnt about a healthy balanced diet and the importance of water for ours bodies. It is great for us all to think about the amount of fruits and vegetables we get each day (and careful of the fats).
