Goldilocks and The Three Bears Crime Scene in P2

3rd Apr 2025

This morning, P2 transformed into sharp-eyed police investigators to solve a mystery that unfolded in their classroom. The room had been turned upside down by a criminal on the loose. Equipped with their notepads, thinking caps and keen investigation skills, P2 gathered clues to piece together what had happened. They worked together as a team to uncover the truth. 👮🏼👮🏼‍♀️

The crime involved a broken bed, three overturned chairs, and dirty dishes with leftover porridge inside.

Our suspects… all teachers and Mr Cheevers!😱🤯

As part of their investigation P2 had to:

🔍 examine all the evidence and clues left behind. 

🔍 measure handprints and footprints at the scene.

🔍 Use their senses to taste the criminal’s porridge. 

🔍 Find the clock that matched the time of the crime. 

🔍 Solve the mystery of the missing driving license and match the date of birth to the criminal. 

🔍 Interview the suspects using appropriate questions.

🔍 Write a detailed police report to hand to the Chief Inspector and think of an appropriate punishment. 


After carefully analyzing all evidence, P2 uncovered a surprising twist - Mr Cheevers was the culprit!

They discovered that:
✅ His birthday is in April.
✅ His favourite porridge topping is syrup.
✅ He arrived in work this morning around 8am.
✅ His hand, foot and body matched the same size as all the evidence left at the crime scene.

Mr Cheevers attempted to make a quick escape, but the clever P2 detectives sprang into action and blocked his path to ensure he couldn’t flee from the scene.

An excellent result for P2 detectives and definitely a hard day in the office. 😴
