Last week there was an incident at the school. The janitor was called to the school as the burglar alarm was going off. He found Mrs Dunbar’s office had been broken into and her laptop had been stolen. The police were called to the scene who sealed off the office until the crime scene investigators arrived.

P7a and P7b our CSI team went to investigate the crime scene. The room had been taped off and they found different things which could important evidence. There was a muddy footprint on the floor, a hair and some fibre from someone’s clothes on the desk. After closer examination they also found a note scrunched up in the bin containing Mrs Dunbar’s username and password. The CSI team noted down all the evidence and returned to class ready to crack the case.

We looked at the motives of all the suspects and began to think of different theories. Throughout this term we are going to test the different evidence we found at the crime scene to find out who committed the crime!

This week we have been learning about evidence found at a crime scene and the different roles of people during an investigation. We have also been learning about fingerprints. The three types of ridges are arch, loop and whorl. We are going to use our knowledge of this to   to compare the fingerprints of our suspects to those found at the crime scene.
