Year 5 have had great fun exploring 
chromosomes this afternoon.  

We are all different because of our DNA, which can be used by forensics to identify criminals.  Our topic is about Crime & Punishment so, as part of our science, we will be exploring how police use different strategies to catch criminals.

This week, we looked at our ink is made up from different colours.  Black is not just black!

Ask us all about it!
