# Name those bones!

  ![Image of Name those bones!](https://files.schudio.com/ststephenskm/images/blog/005.JPG)  20 May 2015   [Sarah Kinsey](https://ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/author/SarahK)   [Year 3 Blog](https://ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/year-3-blog)

On Monday we found out that skeletons play an important part during the Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) celebrations in Mexico so we decided to spend this afternoon learning about skeletons. We talked about why we have a skeleton and discovered the names of some of the bones.  We each made a model of a skeleton and sang a song called [Name Those Bones](http://www.songsforteaching.com/intellitunes/bones.htm) by Ron Brown. Click on the song title for a copy of the lyrics if you would like to sing the song (don't forget the actions!) at home.
