Dynamic Earth

We had the best time yesterday on our school trip, where we explored and discovered the earth in an interactive way.

We were part of a time travelling experience that allowed us to witness the beginning of the earth and journey through the different ages and parts of the earth with great detail.

We were part of a volcano erupting, polar ice caps melting, the rainforest and lots lots more.

C.S.I. Whitelees

Today we were investigators and were given the challenge of finding who had stolen the recipe for ‘Fudge Mallow Delight’ from Willy Wonka’s Factory.

We had to use our thinking skills, communicating skills and compare and contrast the evidence we were given.

We had four different pieces of evidence:  a letter from Willy Wonka, staff fingerprints, a torn I.D. Badge, a police witness interview and a grid that showed where the evidence had been found.

We all decided on the same outcome, and that the culprit was the oompa-loompa Jonathan Jumblebum!

It was amazing!!
