Article 12

We should feel safe and protected at all times

There was shock, horror and sheer disappointment in Primary 6 when they discovered that their classroom museum had been broken into, but with the help of PC Manning we would get to the bottom of it.

The forensic team arrived at the crime scene and all evidence was bagged up, fingerprints were taken and clues investigated further.

Suspects would have to be interviewed…  in came Miss Toner, Miss Irvine, Miss King and Mrs Deas for their interrogation!  Nerves were evident – hands were sweating,  voices were shaky and excuses were plenty.  We would have to look to CCTV to confirm a few issues.

After a very long morning, the culprit was found – MISS KING!!!  She was duly read her rights, handcuffed and escorted out of the classroom, leaving tearful and angry children and staff behind her.

Thankfully, it was all a staged, real life venture involving lots of learning.  Not only did we experience how we would feel if this really did happen to us, but we also learned about the process taken by the police when they arrive on a crime scene, forensics and the law.  A huge thanks to all our fantastic actors.
