As part of their learning linked to the story *Funny Bones*, the children have been exploring skeletons and learning about the different bones in the human body. ### Bringing Learning to Life Through Baking To celebrate the end of their topic, pupils took part in a special baking activity, creating their very own skeleton biscuits. The children enjoyed mixing ingredients, shaping their biscuits and decorating them with impressive skeleton designs, all while discussing the different bones they had been learning about in class. ### Sharing Ideas and Building Confidence Throughout the activity, pupils enthusiastically explained their creations to their friends and talked about what they had discovered during their learning. The hands-on experience provided a fun and memorable way to reinforce their knowledge while developing important communication and creative skills. ### A Fun-Filled Finish to Their Topic Staff were delighted to see the children's enthusiasm and engagement during the baking session, which brought their learning to life in a meaningful way. The skeleton biscuit activity was a fantastic way to conclude the topic and celebrate all that Reception has learned about the human body. ![](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/images/825340821_2009171466458509_8599071425138518740_n.png.jpeg)![](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/images/827590528_2350488865358768_8347692857922102645_n.png.jpeg) [Enrichment](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [ Pupils Shine at Cross-Country Event](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-09-24-pupils-shine-at-cross-country-event) [Class 6 Uses Prayer Garden for Creative Reflection at St Joseph's Catholic Academy ](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-10-05-class-6-uses-prayer-garden-for-creative-reflection-at-st-joseph-s-catholic-academy) ![St Joseph’s Catholic Academy](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Joseph’s Catholic Academy Ragworth Road Norton Stockton on Tees TS20 1HR 01642 360401 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Parents Evening System](https://stjosephsrcnorton.parentseveningsystem.co.uk/) - [Accelerated Reader](https://www.myon.co.uk/login/index.html) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Remote Learning](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/information/remote-learning) - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Remote Learning](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) - [Year 6 Transition Curriculum](https://bhcet.org.uk/year6transitioncurriculum/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsnorton/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephscatholicacademy/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Joseph’s Catholic Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
