I used these resources in Year 1 by setting up a crime scene in the classroom. I asked a family police officer to record a video, asking the children to help them with their investigation. The children then recorded their observations and drew the scene using the Crime Scene Investigation and then completed the suspect sheet. Also within this pack: *Official Police Report- children to pretend they are working for the police to write up about the incident. *Wanted poster template. *How to Catch a Porridge Thief- Instructional text. *Questions for Goldilocks. *Investigator Certificates I hope your children enjoy these resources as much as mine did!
