At the Life Education Bus

Yesterday we lined up from biggest to smallest for the Life Education bus. Once we were on the bus we sat down and listened to Lynne to find out what we had to do. Afterwards we saw Harold who was talked us all about homework. He said we should help him with half of his homework because he was too lazy! The first task we did was to name three systems in our body. To help us we looked at a skeleton to see where the different body parts were.

We talked about the body system for awhile until it was time for a break. We did the banana split song. It was so funny we even made the caravan move up and down with all our laughing and jumping. Our next task was to find out what the Liver is and what it does. We talked with the Brain, which is a computer that helped us come up with more ideas. We looked at the body and figured out that the liver is the biggest organ of all. And it has over 500 jobs to do. One of them is to sort the food out. It also breaks down the bad things that are not good for you. After learning about the body our class got to perform the Humpdy Dumpdy haka that Lynne taught us. We said goodbye to Harold and Lynne. Harold was kind enough to give us books to leave with. We made our way back to class. My highlight was jumping up and down on the bus. I hope I get to go back to the Life Education Bus!
