Today we enjoyed a double lesson where we were presented with a crime scene. We had to find out who killed Sally in the changing room at the beach and why.

The chief suspects were:

Chris (21) an electrician who had been jogging near the changing room and worked at Sally’s school

Jake (20) a university student who lived near the park where the changing rooms were and had been studying on Friday night!

Archie (18) Sally’s ex boyfriend who had begged her to take him back earlier that day

We examined the evidence thoroughly and found out that it was Jake! Bethany and Natasha also enjoyed pretending to be Sally in the body bag !

Explain how key pieces of evidence were used to build up a picture of how the crime was committed, the reason(s) why and who did it.

What other evidence would the police also use to get a conviction?

UK experts said the work was promising and exciting development.
