Learning about the bones in our skeletons.

Our skeletons


We drew around our bodies, then we drew our skeletons in our drawn bodies.
Some things we learnt are: another word for skull is cranium, a collar bone is a clavicle, the longest bone is in your leg, it's called a femur and it's another word for thigh bone.

We listened to a song about bones and every- one made actions to the song, and some people added in parts to the song like adadadodadada

It was epic.  This is how the song starts off Name those bones name those bones; I've got a cranium for my brainium.

It was lovely weather so we could go out on the playground.
You had to draw carefully and the person laying down had to keep very still!
It was a bit tricky when the wind blew so we had to try hard to stop the paper blowing away!

 All the words for the song we sang are:

Name those bones.
Name those bones.
I have a cranium, for my brainium.
And a mandible that's, my jawbone.
And there's my clavicle, that's my collarbone.
And my sternum keeps my ribs at home.
Name those bones.
Name those bones.
All my vertebrae are running down my back
From my head to my pelvic bone.
My femur fits in there, a leg bone I declare
It's the longest bone that I have grown.
Name those bones.
Name those bones.
Patella fits in next, that's my kneecap,
And below it are two more leg bones.
My tibia in front, my fibula in back,
Keep me running at school or home.
Name those bones.
Name those bones.
Now moving down my arm, let's start with humerus
Followed by two more arm bones.
There's an ulna and a radius
My ulna makes up my elbow bone.
Name those bones.
Name those bones.
All my fingers, all my toes,
They're called phalanges, everybody knows.
And on my back you'll find, two shoulder blades in line,
We call them scapula every time.
Name those bones.
Name those bones.
