During CRT with Islay, Papatūānuku has been learning about the human body. We discovered how the brain acts as the ‘boss’ of everything we do and explored how the right and left sides of our bodies work together.
For the last few weeks, we have used our ‘brain gym’ to practice tricky exercises, like walking in sync with a buddy. We also got creative by sculpting mini brains out of clay and building moving hand models using straws and string. It is amazing to see the fingers move when you pull the strings!
Kia ora Papatūānuku,
It sounds like you have been learning lots of exciting things about the human body. Building those moving hand models with straws and string is such a clever way to see how tendons and muscles work. The photographs really helped to show what you had been learning about. It sounds like Papatūānuku is becoming a class of mini-scientists.
Keep up the amazing mahi!

Kia ora Papatūānuku tamariki,
What fun you have all been having learning about how our bodies work. Our brains are amazing aren’t they? Brains are a little bit like a computers, sending messages and storing information. Brain gym is a great way to exercise your brain and make sure it stays fit and help us learn.
Was it tricky to make you hand model and get it to move- what a cool idea!
Well done kids!
