BREAKING
NEWS
On Thursday 20th March, Stanley the snail was kidnapped (snailnapped) from the Year 2 classroom. He is missed by all his friends who are desperate to see his safe return. A note was left where his tank had been. It informed us that Year 6 would be able to help us get him back safely and it promised that he would come to no harm. The Year 2 Snail Police went down to Year 6 with the note to see what they could do. Mrs Baird was very helpful and has assured us that Year 6 will help in the search this afternoon.
This is who we suspect has kidnapped Stanley.
UPDATES
10.15am - Mrs Mc Keating is very concerned about Stanley's welfare. Year 2 are confident that she is not an imposter as she is not wearing purple. Instead, Mrs McKeating is showing her support by wearing a 'Have you seen this snail?' Badge.
11.00am - It was brought to our attention by Mrs Barker that Mrs Baird likes to eat snails! Mrs Carlile and Year 2 will be watching her very closely.
1.15pm - Mrs Baird has assured Year 2 that Year 6 will solve the problem this afternoon. They will be using Science to solve this. Hopefully we will have Stanley back in Year 2 where he belongs before home time.
1.20pm - Year 6 has become an incident room.
1.21pm - Year 2 are learning new ICT skills and are using 'Publisher' to create WANTED posters for Stanley.
2.00pm - Year 6 are using Chromatography to find out whose pen had written the Ransom note! Year 2 were very impressed.
2.30pm - A strange man walks in the room with a note which someone had asked him to deliver!
2.40pm - Year 6 inform us they are 10 minutes away from solving the crime!
2.55pm - The whole of Year 6 come in and tell us that by using their scientific skills, they had discovered who had snailnapped Stanley. They worked out that it wasn't Mrs Hewitt, Mrs Catley, Mr Kelly or Mrs Howley. They also worked out that it was in fact.....
MRS. McKEATING!
3.05pm - Stanley is returned to Year 2 by Mrs McKeating. He has had a fantastic day in her office. They have had a tea party and he got awarded another sticker for behaving so well. He was so impressed with his sticker that he slid right on top of it.
Stanley the Snail just loves to write.
He has recently begun to write some stories for his friends in Year 2. However, he would like to share these with all of his friends at St. John's school. If you have any ideas for any adventures that Stanley could write about, please send him a message. You never know, you could be a character in his next story! Click on the link below.
