**** On Wednesday February 1st, Callowell underwent the full CSI experience. The children arrived to find that our Olympic Memorabilia had been snatched in an audacious raid by a burglar who had smashed their way in to our new trophy cabinet. With the assistance of PC Gary Lynch, we analysed the evidence the careless thief had left and collected other items they had foolishly discarded. We collected fingerprints and carried out our own investigations before using these ideas as a writing stimulus. After some fantastic ideas and discussions, the children were all informed that there had not really been a robbery and that the whole event had been staged as part of our creative writing week. Thanks to PC Gary Lynch and all the Callowell Staff for their hard work in making this event such a success.
**** Wet Welly Wednesday On Wednesday January 18th, we asked the children to wear their wellies and bring a pound to raise money to put towards outdoor equipment for the Forest School area. Mr Jones is hoping to be able to take Junior children into the woodland area for some outdoor learning very soon. We had a parade of wellies and picked out some of the snazziest designs!
