Special Investigators

It all began when someone stole granny and tied her to the door handle……who could of it been, how could we set her free, how big were the foot prints, what clues can we find.

The children were set on  a mission.  First they had to make their special investigators identity card, then they had to wear night vision glasses and get through the forensic tape which had be set up.  The had to crawl through, climb over and under being careful not to leave fingerprints.  They had to check the patterns on every adults shoe to find out if they had matched the prints left. That day they went away puzzled.  The following morning they were surprised to find a trail of biscuits crumbs  which led them out the outdoor hut……..where they found Grandpa Joe, who told them it was him who had did it, why? they asked? because granny drinks too much tea and when she does she eats all the biscuits leaving him none.

What a team of investigators……………they learned to work cooperatively, measure, use technology, use mark making tools and above all had fun learning.
