Yr 6 Visit by David Hall - Science Workshop
Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their Genome Explorers assembly with David Hall. The session was arranged in partnership with the Cambridge Science Centre. The pupils learnt all about DNA and genes, and how these carry the instructions that make each living thing unique.
They looked closely at the double helix structure of DNA and explored how the “bases” (A, T, C and G) pair up. They learnt that these base pairs form a code that tells cells how to grow, function, and repair themselves. Pupils also discovered how genes are passed from parents to children and how small changes in DNA can make us all different.
