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!
