We couldn’t go to the woods today because we didn’t have enough helpers. We stayed at school instead and spent the morning outside- initially learning about inheritance and why we aren’t identical to our brothers and sisters. To explain this we used lolly pop sticks as chromosomes and re-created a classic lesson which usually involves play dough and pipe- cleaners. We will be sharing our learning with another class soon and then with other teachers in moray as part of the science CPD.

The children ‘bred’ creatures using information gained from the chromosomes of mum ( bike shelter) and dad ( near bin!). Each pair bred a slightly different creature -hurrah!! Here are Tina an Bob – brother and sister 🙂
