Letter of the week

Today I have completed my Letter of the week Slide, the letter was N. I found that the letter N was a bit tricky because I don't think that there are as many words starting with N compared with the letter A. I was a bit stuck with the presentation because I wanted it to be different from my previous LOTW's. But in the end, I'm really happy with the outcome of my slide because all of the colours and words set a good vibe for everyone. Overall I'm really happy with my slide because I put a lot of effort into making it the best that I can so that's why I rate my work a Supernova!

Fingerprinting ( dusting )

Today I have learned how to dust my own fingerprints! I found it really cool to do something like this because it's learning in a fun way! I was really surprised with the outcome of my fingerprints because I would have thought that it would be very technical but really it's super simple. All I had to do to lift my fingerprint is: rub your finger on your hair then place it on a window, use a makeup brush and dip it in cornstarch ( not too much ), rub it on your fingerprint, get some tape stick it on the fingerprint and that is how you lift your fingerprint. Overall I rate my work a Supernova because I tried my best to make it really good!

Missing Capital letters

Today I have compleated the Missing Capital letters worksheet. I had to find 20 missing capital letters in a letter from Cinderellas step mum to Cinderella. I found this worksheet really easy because... Its capital letters and I know them off by heart. But anyway I found it kind of fun while doing it because it was surprisingly relaxing! Overall I'm really happy with all that I have done because I put in my best effort into it, so that's why I rate my work a Supernova!

Fingerprinting

Lately, for our Whetu Case, we've been focusing our work on fingerprints. We have had someone that works for the police ( Sally ) and does all of the fingerprinting work at the station. She talked to us all about what to do when searching for fingerprints and how to find them ( I found it very interesting. ) Later on we took our own fingerprints to see what we have, we used special ink to put on our fingers to make our fingerprints more visible. I found out that I have 0 arches, 6 loops and 4 whorls which I think are pretty cool! The most common type of fingerprint is the loop then it is a whorl and the arch is pretty rear. But there are even more types of fingerprints like the double loop which is kind of like the yin yang symbol, there is also a fingerprint called the accidental loop which looks really cool! Overall I think that I have learnt lots about fingerprints and now I can teach someone outside of school all about it!

Whetu Case #2020

Yesterday was the first day back at school. We all came to surprise when we saw police tape along with a sign saying ''Keep out crime scene''. Later we found out that someone has broken in by cracking the door and stolen some milky ways while making quite a mess, so it is our job to find clues and try to find the culprit. We had to freeze and observe the scene to see what has clearly been involved in the crime that was the first step into solving the mystery. Then we had to make a list of what can be taken to the police station like fingerprints or blood. That is where we have left off for now but I can't wait until we continue our investigating!
