Throughout the month of February we have been learning about the Human Body. We have been working on naming the parts of the body and what they do. Our class has been singing the Hokey Pokey and reading a poem titled "Our Bodies". We have also been labeling a human body to identify different parts of the body. Some students read the words and point to the part and others have Ms. Katsuras read the words and they point to the body part.

So far the most exciting part of our unit is when we went to the Ontario Science Centre to visit the Sesame Street Body Exhibit. Our walk over was a little wet but we all stayed together and had a blast talking about all the things we saw on the way - McDonald's was an exciting landmark that we saw! Once we got to the Science Centre we divided into groups and all headed down the exhibit which was a hands on experience like no other! We looked at what the different parts of the body did, played video games about the human body, played on the Sesame Street front stoop and went grocery shopping! The Science Centre was an overwhelming experience and we all wanted to see, touch and visit everything! We will definitely be going back so that we can experience more learning hands on.
