You're a dendroid...

FACT:  The word DENDROID means " branching in a tree like way".  This is why the receptacles
 and transmitters are called 'Dendrites'.


 

Today we began by recapping.... the children had to model and explain a neuron to a pair from another class.

Because we think Neurons are so amazingly beautiful we are going to immortalise them in a triptych artwork. 


Lastly today...The children looked at the four lobes of the brain.  We created an Acronym to help us remember... FPOT...Frontal, Parietal, Occipital, Temporal...  We wore our brain caps...
