Bones and Joints Galore!

Bone and Joint Expert, Mrs Kakahi taught us about our bones and their special names including our vertebrae column -which is our spine, the clavicle bone - which is our collar bone, the humerus, ulna and radius bone -which is our 3 arm bones and many more.

Our skull is made up of plates of bone fused together called Fibrous Joints.

Did you know the smallest bone in your body is the stirrup bone which is found inside your ear.

Did you know we have 206 bones in our bodies and 26 bones in our hands.

Our knee and elbow joints are a hinge joint that allows movement backwards and forwards.

Our shoulder and hip joints are called Ball and Socket joints. They allow rotation.

Thank you to Mrs Kakahi. We learnt a lot about bones and joints.
