]]Hi my name is Tabitha. This term in class we are are learning about the brain. I have learnt sooooo much and know how people die from neck injures.That is only one of the amazing facts I have learnt in the last 5weeks. Brad the brain guy from the uni came and answered HEAPS of our wonderings.it is really interesting trying to pronounce the tricky brain words. Stress affects the brain and messes with your head. Thats when mr kemp [my teacher] found brain gym. Brain gym is for anyone that is stressed or not being able to think. They are just little one minute exreises.Below is a picture of my class mate doing brain gym.It is called double doodle.Here is a picture of a brain.Further down the page is my explanation.



THE BRAIN The brain is an organ in the body. The cerebullum is a part of the brain ,that is very important. It belongs to the organ family.

THE PARTS The brain has many parts.The basic parts are... -the frontal lobe the front part of the brain. -the parietal lobe is in the top middle of the brain. -the occipital lobe is at the back of the brain. -the temporal lobe is at the bottom of the brain beside the cerebullum and the brain stem.

HOW IT WORKS The frontal lobe controls creating and thinking it also runs your personality. The parietal lobe helps you recongise objects and controls things such as pain, pressure, touch and temperature. The temporal lobe is beside your ears and it helps us hear, plan our speech and remeber. The occiptal lobe collects messages from the eyes.Balance and physical skills is what the crerbullum controls and last but not least tha brain stem. The brain stem helps us breathe and make our heart beat, it is connected to the spinal cord. Messages get around the brain by cells, the the brain is wrinkly so you can fit more brain cells then if your brain was square or circle.

WHERE IT COMES FROM When you where a baby you get along by your instinct.Of course your brain grows as you get older, that is why your parents know more than you. As your hands get bigger your brain gets bigger too.Put your two fists together thats how big your brain is.
