Year 3 learned all about the incredible musculoskeletal system—the body's scaffolding and engine. We investigated how our muscles and bones work together like a team to help us run, jump, and even just hold a pencil.

We identified the main purpose of our skeleton—to support and protect our organs. We looked at different bones like the femur and the skull.

We explored how muscles work in pairs to create movement. We tried out actions, like bending our arms, and saw how one muscle contracted (shortened) while the other relaxed (lengthened). This was called antagonistic movement!

We participated in a fun activity where we created a simple model of our hand.

It was a super interesting lesson, and we all came away knowing so much more about the power and complexity of our own bodies!
