Primary 3 Fish Dissection!

6th May 2026

Trigger Warning: Fishy Business Ahead!

As part of our World Around Us topic “Them Bones! Them Bones”, today’s learning got a little hands-on (and just a tiny bit squishy!). Our Primary 3 scientists bravely explored the bones and organs of a real fish—comparing them to our own skeletons and insides.

There were curious minds, a few “ewwws,” lots of “whoa!” moments and some fantastic investigating skills on display. No fishy detail was left undiscovered!

A huge thank you to Birchwood Fishery for providing the fish and helping us bring our learning to life.
