How to solve a crime

​We have made a superb start to learning this term in Barn Owls. We are currently learning about the detective genre through our English text, High Rise Mystery. Children have been practising writing to build tension, as well as how to include a wider variety of adjectives and technical language. We were delighted to be joined by DC Jordan from Okehampton Police Station who talked through how the Police investigate serious and organised crime. The children were able to take part in a role-play. The children played roles such as scene guarding, and scientists. Our main suspect even had her finger prints taken!
