Exciting stuff - criminal activity............

Well, it certainly has been a VERY exciting themed week so far..........
Yesterday, we worked in partnership with Year 1 all morning and learned about Remembrance Day and the significance of the poppy - it was quite a moving session. We then used this learning, combined with learning about Japanese Haiku poems, to create our own Haiku poems - quite a challenge, just like doing a puzzle really.......ask the children about the structure of a Haiku poem! Good fun, Year 4 were brilliant role models for the Year 1 children.

Some of you may be aware that, this morning, we were greeted with rather a worrying situation......a crime had been committed involving our classroom!!!!!!
We were met by a police officer who carried out a preliminary investigation, there were many questions to be asked and lines of enquiry to be investigated, so the officer left us in order to process details and take some evidence and a finger print to be analysed. We were left to gather more evidence and build a picture of possible suspects, motives and to create some questions that we later asked the suspects. LOTS of thinking and reasoning skills involved, as well as deducing and inferring!!!!!!!!!

Following the questioning we were able to eliminate some members of staff, however as we were waiting to interview Mr. Gibson..............the police officer returned...........WITH MR. GIBSON...........IN HANDCUFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His house had been searched, and the finger print had been matched, Mr. Gibson tried very hard to evade our questions but tripped himself up on several occasions.................He was charged for the offence of breaking and entering and Wizardnapping!!!!!! Dumbledore was found in his cupboard along with our wand. Mr. Gibson was NOT very sorry and tried to escape on several occasions!!!!!!! His motive was to force Dumbledore to cast a spell that would make him in charge of the school!!!!!!!!!!!! He has been released on bail to appear at the Crown Court in Year 4 on Thursday 12th November...............................................
