The world of work is a fun way to help children learn about themselves, their skills and the jobs they could do in the future. We talk about career options in P5-P7 every day during our lessons and last Friday we were very lucky to have a special visit from John Blacklock to talk about his Engineering job with Amentum and how it takes him all over the world.
Over the last two weeks P5-P7 have been enjoying working with DNA and chromosomes. They have been learning about scientific methods and role of researchers. The first challenge was to extract DNA from a banana using an experiment kit and working in partnership with students from Edinburgh University. Pupils are now working on scientific posters. Everyone is very excited about this science project and to find out who extracted the most DNA.
