NOTE: I have included at the bottom of this Maths section an additional support video I have made and some alternative practice questions for those that need a little extra help 

Our Maths session will use a video to teach us and this will ask you to pause from time to time to answer questions. The questions are on a worksheet that you can view on your screen. Answer the questions in your Exercise Book at the Maths end.
You will use the worksheet and the video together.

Check out the info burst below all about your skeleton and listen for the answers to these questions....

Which is the largest bone in your body?

Which bone is the smallest?

How many bones are in your skull?

Skulls hold our brains.

Who do you think has the biggest skull in your house?

Make some predictions - order of size from smallest to largest.

Get a piece of paper and cut it into 4 long strips .... without putting the strips against your head lay some of the strips out on a table end to end and trim them to make a length that you predict would fit exactly around your skull.... save this for later.

How could you measure a skull?

Could you use something to wrap around the skull that you could then measure?

Design to a way to fairly measure each person's skull in your family and see if your prediction about size order was right.

Measure around your skull and compare it to your paper strip prediction....how close were you?

Do you you think cleverer people have bigger skulls?

Skulls are one of the parts of our skeleton that feature a lot in spooky stories, artwork, hallowe'en. You have probably seen pictures and models of skulls in all sorts of places.

Today we are going to learn to draw a 'Sugar Skull'. It is way of representing the skull that is part of a big celebration every year in Mexico.

You will need:

• Paper
• Coloured pens or pencils

Work along with the video below and make sue to send me a picture of your finished skull!
