Monday 15th June


Good afternoon Class 6! 

Next Week is Science Week! 

Burglary Reported! 

At approximately 10.40 on the morning of 12th April the laptop of Sally Bircumshaw, teacher of Physics at West Hollow Secondary School, was stolen from her classroom, complete with password.

Ms Bircumshaw expressed concern that her laptop contained detailed notes on an upcoming publication that she fears was the motivation for the theft. She explained that her ‘encrypted’ password was hidden high on the wall behind books on a shelf, but that the books had been moved, leading her to believe that the password was seen by the thief.

CCTV shows the suspect dressed in a t-shirt and jeans with a hat covering their head. A clear identification cannot be made. The suspect’s t-shirt and trousers appeared to change colour depending on the camera used. Witnesses describe the clothes as turquoise, yellow and bright pink at various times.

Witness sightings of the suspect’s shadow suggest they were anything from 5ft 11 to 9ft 8. One witness said that they saw an odd shape on the shadow,which they described as being the shape of a car ‘rear view’ mirror on a stick, but are not sure.


We have CCTV footage of a small beam of light being shone into the gymnasium of the school late evening on the 8th April 2016. This beam was trained on three specific points of the wall below the window through which we believe the suspect made their entry. External CCTV footage shows a figure shining a torch through a hole in the exterior wall, once on tip toes, once standing normally and once on their knees. This footage is hazy and the suspect cannot be identified, or key height established, as a result.

Your task this week is to conduct a range of scientific experiments to eliminate suspects and work out who the perpetrator of this hideous crime. 

Here are your first case files to help you to crack the case:

Good luck, team!
