As Scientists, we investigated how our skeleton provides: protection, support and movement. We found out about the different joints: ball and socket, gliding and hinge. We designed a playground game that had to include movement of all 3 joints. We played these games to keep us fit and healthy!
This week, our Year 6 pupils have been working with a member of staff from Forge School Sports Partnership to complete their young leader training.
