We have been writing reports based on the stolen necklace. We then had to act out our report on puppet pals. This one is by Jaymie and Sofia, I will try and get the rest up in the holidays!!

Last day of Term 1



Wow, how the term has flown by....
What a great last day V3 had together! We started the day by learning about QR Codes and had an Easter Egg treasure hunt by using the app "I-Nigma" to find clues and letters. We scanned the QR Codes and these gave us clues - what a fun way to have a treasure hunt with our buddies!

We then had a great time in the hall playing battleships and returned to write learning reflections about the things we have learnt this term.

We finished the day off with a movie as a way to celebrate our 2000 blog hits! Lucky V3!!

Have a great Easter everyone, see you next term!!

Operation Necklace

Yesterday something quite bizarre happened...
A beautiful, golden necklace was stolen from around Caitlin's neck!

But who would want to steal Caitlin's necklace? They may have wanted to sell it on trademe?
V3 were on the case!

We found the following evidence...
- an apple core, holding saliva and teeth marks - DNA (Deoxyribo Nucliec Acid - thanks Sofia for the spelling)
- A muddy footprint - 27 cms long (obviously the theif loves playing in the mud!)
- A scrunched up paper bag (maybe someone's lunch bag)
- Long, blonde hair (could've been Caitlin's??)
- Short, brown hair - lots of DNA!
- A jar with a loop fingerprint

Check out our suspect list!

We came to the conclusion that...
JOSEPH was our theif!
He has loop fingerprints, brown hair, he didn't cross the road for lunch like the rest of V3, he ate an apple for lunch, he likes playing in the mud and he knows how to use trade me!

We learnt that you can't GUESS who a criminal is without looking at all the evidence and putting the jigsaw puzzle together.
