      Hi!

      I went to university when I was 18. When I arrived, we were given lectures – which is very similar to a classroom you’re experiencing now. Someone clever sits at the front and teaches you things.

      In my first year, I had a lot of lectures about the human body. They talked us through all the different shapes of bones, types of bones and reasons why we have bones in the body. This is how I know there are 206 of them!

      Did you know that over 100 of them can be found in your hands and feet? This is how we have such bendy fingers and toes!

      Michael 🙂
