Fingerprints!!

On the 27th of October, we watched a video about fingerprints and how to make them show up with dusting. Once we had finished watching the video Mrs. Kennedy showed us all the supplies we were going to use, The things we were using for this task were: Tape, Cornflower, A black piece of paper, and brushes so we can see our fingerprint and pick it up better. Mrs. Kennedy then showed us how to do it and then we had a go. First, we had to rub our hair so it could get more oil on our fingers and it would show up better, then we had to place our finger on the glass and apply some pressure after that Mrs. Kennedy placed clear tape over our fingerprint then we lifted it off, we then placed the tape with our fingerprint on the black piece of paper and wrote our names on it. This was a very fun task and I hope I can do it at home with my family. 

                                      

Fantastic Fingerprints!!

This term as you know we have been trying to figure out who has done the crime of stealing Milkyway chocolates. We have been doing rotations and one rotation was with Mrs Kennedy doing FINGERPRINTS!! We had to get into a buddy (I was with Melissa) and then get an ink pad, after we received our ink pad we rolled our thumbs in it (It had to be somewhat a square) and then on a brown piece of paper dabbed some of it off so it's lighter. Once we were done dabbing we rolled it in the first column for our thumb (there were two columns with five squares for our left and right hand). There are three different types of fingerprints that you can have Whorl, Arch, and Loop. I have 5 Loops and 5 Whorls.

Whetu Case 2020

Yesterday we came back from School Holidays and there was a crime scene that happened in our classroom, SOMEONE STOLE CHOCOLATES!!! and left clues for us to figure out. The teachers have set up little clues for us to solve so we can figure out who the culprit was. Some things that are in the crime scene are: a broken flower vase with blood drops next to it, Mr Singh's license, a cracked glass window/door with blood on the crack and the handle of the door, a pink scrunchie, a mug with a blacky browny liquid, a bloody tissue with a tissue box next to it, 16 Milkyway chocolates scattered all over the floor with one chocolate eaten and an
NPS brown pen. There are some more things like footprints but that is mostly the main things. I think that this will be a very interesting case to figure out because we haven't learnt much yet since it is just the second day. I love this case/challenge so far and I hope it will just get better and better!!
