Over the last few weeks we have been learning about our skeleton.If we didn’t have a skeleton we would be a blob of skin.We learned the names of differnt bones in our body. We also learned about joints in our body which are the ball and socket and the hinge joint.We also learned that in between our bones there is a small cushiony substance called cartilage. We also learned about how muscles help our body move.
Our senses are very important to us.Our senses are smell,hearing,sight,taste and touch.If we loose one of these senses it would be very hard for us.We learned what it would be like to be blind.If you are blind you have a guide dog.If you lost your hearing you would have to learn sign language. If you lost your touch you would not be able to feel anything.If you lost your taste you would not be able to taste your food.If you lost your smell you would not be able to smell the nice smell.

We learned about the artist Georges Seurat. He did alot of paintings in pointilism.In school we got to paint pictures with pointilism and we got to paint what ever we wanted.Georges Seurat was a famous artist.You join little dots together to make painting.If you look close to a picture you can see little dots.

In school we made posters about fun fairs and dog shows and the circus.It was important that we made the posters look atractive so people could attend.We had to put on the date and the days and what was there and the price.We had to put on lots of colours so that people could see it from far away.Everybody drew a picture about their show and what it looks like.
