skeletons

T. has fascination with "skeleton bones", We have:
  • discussed different bones in body and identified them on ourselves
  • borrowed book on skeletal system from library
  • watched descriptions of skeletal system on you tube
  • collected animal bones from bush and tried to identify: wallaby skulls, cow skull, vertebrae, rib bones, leg bones. NB extension: borrow book on animal skeletal systems and try to identify more accurately.
  • bought book on skeletal and other body systems and extended reading to nervous, muscular and circulatory systems
  • visited both Australian museum and Bathurst's Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum with excellent dinosaur displays, seen whale skeletons in Whale museum, Albany WA
  • at one point T had his own museum display on the toyshelf of all the rocks and bones he'd found in garden
A Wallaby skull?
