We were learning about the human body. We looked at the skeleton and identified the skull, spine, ribs, kneecap, thigh bone and elbow. 
We also looked at all the major organs in our body.

In Art we made a skeleton using q-tips!! Do you like them? 
They look spooky in our classroom, great for Halloween.

Quiz Time: Can you name 5 organs in our body???

We have been learning lots and lots about Autumn. 

The children in Room 20 have looked at lots of different trees, leaves and fruit. We celebrated National Tree Day on the 9th October, here is a link to the website...

We have also looked at animals that migrate (the swallow) and ones that hibernate (the hedgehog). 

We identified lots of signs of Autumn. Can you name 6 signs of Autumn in the comment section below???
Hint: think of leaves, animals, weather and festivals
