In science, we’re learning about the human body. So, what makes a human?
Humans are a type of animal made up of lots of important parts. We have brains for thinking, hearts for beating and tummies that rumble at 11:45. We tried to name as many body parts as we could think of. The children really impressed me with their knowledge!
We worked like scientists by carrying out an investigation to answer the question: Do older children have bigger feet?
After making some predictions, we lined our feet up in birthday order and compared. We were surprised to find that the answer to the question was only sometimes. Science can be full of surprises!
Help at home by discussing parts of the human body with your child. Play Simon Says using body parts to help them remember some of the tricky ones. Re-create our investigation at home by lining up in birthday order and compare foot size.
