That is such a stereotype!

In Alminstone we talked about stereotypes in scarf. The children closed their eyes and were given a description eg a child climbing a tree. They had to say whether they thought the child was male or female. We watched a short video with an experiment of two children and how people may stereotype by colour of clothes, toy type etc. Finally we looked at headlines and had to say the opposite of the stereotype.

Look at the infants below. Can you tell their sex just by looking at them?

The infant in the the blue is actually a girl dressed in ‘boys clothes’ and the infant in pink is actually a boy. (pictures used from the video from the BBC)
