We used a rubber glove and straws to look at why our bodies need support. We then labelled the bones in our body by post it noting our partners and completing a skeleton relay in pairs. Some great practical science! ### Science [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-1/34058332-1148-46FF-8037-95D6BEFE3161(1).jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-1/34058332-1148-46FF-8037-95D6BEFE3161(1).jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-1/0323903E-1CFD-4A9E-B401-81E628F410E9.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-1/0323903E-1CFD-4A9E-B401-81E628F410E9.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-1/5956C658-2D61-48EA-91A8-C827335C17A9.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-1/5956C658-2D61-48EA-91A8-C827335C17A9.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-1/7A18C259-8D0D-4386-9E38-83F4FF2E3BC5.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-1/7A18C259-8D0D-4386-9E38-83F4FF2E3BC5.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-1/6BDD2DBB-F1B1-4699-8F52-4535547526D5.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-1/6BDD2DBB-F1B1-4699-8F52-4535547526D5.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-1/09179628-E1F4-4605-8F5D-489B2D6572DC.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-1/09179628-E1F4-4605-8F5D-489B2D6572DC.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-1/A6BE5655-33ED-4BED-B279-284C6960C72E.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-1/A6BE5655-33ED-4BED-B279-284C6960C72E.jpeg) [ Greenpower Racing Update](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2024-03-11-14-36-17-greenpower-racing-update) [Steady Hand Game ](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2024-03-18-09-06-05-steady-hand-game) ![The Howard Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/logo/Howard-footer-Logo.png) ### The Howard Primary School The Square Elford Tamworth B79 9DB 01827 383292 - [Term Dates](http://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/termdates) © Copyright 2019–2026 The Howard Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
