Year 6 C.S.I Forensic Crime Busters!
Last week Year 6 were lucky enough to be visited by Kate and James from Solent University, who also work in the field of forensic science. They came into school with loads of exciting scientific equipment, in order to help us learn how to gather evidence to solve crimes. We learnt how to lift and read fingerprints; make a foot cast; what measurements we would need to take from a suspect and how to test and identify different chemical powders.

We also got to visit Warsash Maritime Museum, where Kate and her team had set up a crime scene for us to investigate. We all had so much fun and learnt a lot about this field of science. We also got to use and apply a lot of the skills we are learning at school:- team work, problem solving and lots and lots of maths. We had a BRILLIANT time!



As we worked hard we managed to solve the clues and crack the crime, therefore we all graduated. Take a look at how smart we all look!




Oscar also enjoyed getting involved. Take a look a at Oscar the crimebusting bear!
