BR06: BONES


‘The bones of your face are part of your skull. It covers your brain like a helmet.’

This book is very amazing!! Because it was written about details of bones I didn’t know.
First, any way we move, our bones are helping out, for example, walk, jump, touch your toes, bend your knees and hold your nose. We have 206 bones in our body, these bones fit together perfectly, and they form our skeleton. Our bones are hidden under our skin, but we can feel them and see their shape. Our bones start out small, just the way we do. As our bones grow, you grow, too. The smallest bones are inside our ears, and the biggest bones are in our legs. I knew the fact for the fact. Some of our bones act as armor. A flat bone in the middle of our chest protects our heart. Bones are a body cage for our lungs and other squishy parts. I knew it is called ribs when I was examined it. And, the bones of our face are part of our skull. It covers our brain like a helmet.
Second, some people think skulls look scary; they like to wear skull masks on Halloween. Long ago, pirates used a flag with skull and crossbones on it to frighten people. Today, a skull and crossbones means danger or poison. When we see it, we have to be careful! Our bones do not bend, so they are joined in places where we need to bend. These places are called joints. Our spine, or backbone, has many joints. It helps me to stand up straight or do a somersault. Our bones work with our muscles to make our bodies move. Bones are hard and strong, but sometimes they break by accident. Luckily, the broken parts can grow back together. After many weeks, the bone is healed.
Finally, some old bones turn into fossils after millions of years. Fossils tell us a lot about animals that lived long ago- such as dinosaurs! Many animals have bones like ours. But their skeletons match their shapes and sizes. Toads and goldfish have much smaller bones than we do. Elephants and whales have much bugger bones than we do. Some animals have no bones at all, jellyfish and worms wriggle and squiggle without them.
If we had no bones, we would look like a blob. So we think of our bones and say, ‘Thank you!’ I had many things of learn from this book, the story was very interesting.
