WALT:Know what the brain does and how it works/functions
We were learning if we forgot how train tracks and bus seats worked. This was important because
we had to talk to our buddy and discuss what we knew about the brain.

We saw Harold the giraffe and waved while watching him try to steal his breakfast from Bernie which he could only eat if he had a shower. Harold lives in the Life Education van and helps to teach us about our bodies - things such as the organs, bones and what we use our brains for.
We were listing to Tam about her body parts. She is very interesting and different parts of her light up. An examples of this is in the pictures below.
Bernie taught us some brain fitness games - she called it brain gym. These were very difficult as they made us use both of the sides of our brain at once.
In this photo - we had to identify what different parts of the brain and body look, feel and smell like. We were comparing these to different foods such as avocado, spaghetti, cabbage and lemons.
We learnt that the brain controls lots of different parts of our body. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. We also learnt that the brain and nervous system affects all of the other body systems.
The final thing that we learnt was about things that are important for keeping us alive and stress free. If we have all of these things then it is much easier for us to feel happy and relaxed. We watched a video about a boy who did not have all of these puzzle pieces there because he missed breakfast, and we saw how it affected his whole day.
