This half term in Science we are learning all about ourselves.
We started the topic by thinking about the names of some of our different body parts. We drew around some of our friends and labelled the different parts of their bodies. We made sure to include lots of body parts like ankles, wrists and elbows.
Then we looked carefully at our faces and identified some of the parts of our face; we noticed eyebrows, eyelashes, chins and foreheads. We worked hard to draw ourselves and then used the word bank to help us label the different parts. Can you tell who is who by looking at the pictures?
Next week we will be thinking about the enquiry question ‘Do older children have bigger feet?’. We will draw around each others’ feet and then use the drawings to help find out the answer to our enquiry.
How to help at home:
- Encourage your child to ask questions and think about how they can find out the answer to them.
- Visit the library and see if you can find some books about humans.
- Draw around a family member and label their body parts.
- Compare yourself to your grown up or a younger brother or sister. What is the same? What is different?
