Brainy Brain

Yesterday we started learning about our brain.  We wondered who was the boss of us?  Was it our mum and dad?  Was it our teacher?  But we all learnt that our brains were really the boss.

Our brain enables us to breathe, digest, move, talk, listen and think.

We learnt about the cerebrum - the largest part of our brain that has two parts, the left and the right.

The left side of our brain controls the right side of our body.  The right side of the brain controls the left side of our body.

We learnt about the cerebellum - which is underneath the cerebrum.  It controls our balance.  We tried to keep balance (some of us were better than others).

The brain stem connects the brain to the rest of our body and sends messages.

Here is Grace's diagram of the parts of her brain.
