Fantastic Fingerprints!

 On Tuesday a policewoman called Sally came in and talked about Fingerprinting and other things that they would use to solve a Crime. Sally said that she worked as somebody who does most of the Fingerprint work. She showed us the 3 types of Fingerprints - The Loop, Whorl and Arch. The loop is the most common out of all three and that our Fingerprints are already formed when you have been in your mother's stomach for 16 months! 

Later that day we did a Fingerprint worksheet and we had a sheet of ink. We rolled our Fingerprints on each hand and then tried to figure out what they were out of a Loop, Arch & Whorl. 

Whetu Case #2020

 Yesterday when we came back to school there was yellow tape saying Crime scene - Do not enter on the deck so we couldn't walk on the deck through to the bag hooks and walked on the concrete. 

When we came into the Milkyway that morning we saw even more tape blocking off the non-carpet area. On the other side of the tape there was a shattered vase, the jar with the chocolates was tipped on its side, there was a brown Ngatea Primary School pen, there were drops of blood in places, there was a light pink Scrunchie, the window was cracked, there was blood on the window and handle, a tissue box and a tissue with blood on it, a cup that was filled with a brown drink and was spilt on the table and the tissue had soaked it up and lastly there were Milkyway Chocolates in places on the floor. 

The police made us a video saying that there had been a crime in a class and he said to 

Freeze 

Control

Preserve      

Then we had to complete a form and put on the information from the crime scene that we had gathered.
