Year 2's Great Hat Mystery!
Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed reading "I Want My Hat Back" by Jon Klassen, where a bear searches the woods for his missing hat. Inspired by the story, the children designed and made their very own special hats – but, mysteriously, they disappeared on Friday afternoon!
The children became detectives and discovered a series of intriguing clues, including a Big Boss lanyard, some music notation and a cycling helmet receipt. They carefully pieced the clues together before interviewing the Academy's "Big Bosses" – Mr Cosby, Mr Hire and Ms Mackenzie.
After some very important detective work, the children discovered that none of the Big Bosses had stolen the hats! The mystery took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that the culprit was actually Ms Mackenzie's office teddy bear!
The teddy bear was promptly asked to apologise to the pupils, and the mystery was finally solved. Year 2 showed fantastic teamwork, questioning skills and determination throughout their investigation! Thank you to all the pupils and staff members involved.
