This week, we began our new science topic on the human body. To assess our current knowledge, we started with a practical group activity.
Working in groups with large rolls of paper, the children drew eachother to create life-sized outlines. They then labelled all the external body parts they already knew.
Once we had shared our initial ideas, we worked together to identify and learn the names of some less familiar areas. Through discussion and research, the class learned how to correctly locate and label the abdomen, pelvis, thigh, and calf on their diagrams.
