Sharyn introduced us to Eddie the skeleton who could be pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle, and the children really enjoyed working together in teams to make him whole again. Sharyn also showed the children how to listen to their heartbeat using a stethoscope! We zoomed in on some hair strands using our new microscopes, and worked in teams to deconstruct/reconstruct felt & 50cm human anatomy torsos. The children had a great time being scientists for the afternoon!
A huge thank you to one of our lovely parents Sharyn Seabourne who came into the Learning Hub to talk to Penny & Rachel's classes (R7 & M10) about human anatomy and for explaining how our bodies work! Sharyn is a Doctor at the Wellington Hospital Emergency Department & we were thrilled to welcome her to the Learning Hub to share her expertise.
