During World Around Us lessons, P4 have been learning all about the bones in the human body. They have found out the scientific name for many of the bones and have learnt some very interesting facts!

Did you know any of the following facts?  

🦴Babies have many more bones than adults - around 94 more! 
🦴A child’s bones are more bendy and flexible than an adult’s.
🦴The longest bone is the femur and the shortest bone is the stapes.
