We are scientists!

Reception had lots of fun investigating their fingerprints. We used the graphite from our pencils and some sticky tape to create an impression of our fingerprints. Using magnifying glasses, we used our careful skills of observation to see if we could determine whether our fingerprints were an arch shape, whorl shape or loop shape. We learnt how our fingerprints are all unique.

"Mine look the same as yours."

"I can see an arch shape on mine."

"Are my fingerprints all the same shape on my fingers?"
