Dem bones

Many months ago we found a dead blackbird. After having a good look at it, we buried it in the butterfly garden and agreed to dig it up again once it had turned into a skeleton.

Well, last week we decided it was time. ...


We dug up the soil but there was no skeleton!
But there WAS a skull. And we found  a small bit of bone that might have been part of its leg.
The bottom jaw bone was like a wishbone.

We looked at images of bird skeletons and then drew our own. ............


Here are some of our wonderful sketches of bird skeletons.

  1. Hi! Room 13,
    Your sketches of the bird skeleton are AMAZING!!! There is so much detail in your drawings. I am very impressed.
    Do you think you could come and show Room 5? I think they would be a great example of detailed sketches.
