This morning we came into class as normal but we couldn’t find Buddy anywhere!!! We searched high and low but no sign of him.

Suddenly, an envelope was slid under the door and there was a loud knocking on the door….we opened the envelope and inside there was a note from the kidnapper…

We decided the first thing to do was to compile a list of suspects from using our inference skills. We looked at the objects in the photograph and decided who we knew had some of the objects.

Then we created questions to help eliminate suspects.

Then it was time to commence our interviews!!!

First we went to Miss Morgan but she was quickly eliminated because she doesn’t have a walkie talkie.

Then we went along to P5 to find Miss Macrae

Miss Macrae was also eliminated because she has a pink water bottle and not a clear and black like the one in the photo.

Then Mr Maxwell was our next suspect however he didn’t have his  nails painted blue so he was eliminated too…

Then it was time to interview the management team….they were our chief suspects and we were pretty sure one of them was guilty…however we were wrong, none of them have water bottles so they were innocent.

Finally we were down to one set of suspects…..THE OFFICE LADIES…..which one was the culprit we asked ourselves….

Ethan asked all the questions and we scanned the office and finally the suspect was caught…..MRS SANDERSON the office manager!!!!

Buddy has now been returned safe and well to the P3/2 classroom and we now know to keep an extra close eye on Mrs Sanderson!!!!
