There was great excitement in Duckling Class @FP this week when our class puppet, Zig, went missing! The children quickly noticed that Zig was nowhere to be found and decided we needed to help find her.

First, Mr Bond checked the school cameras to see if they could help us solve the mystery. On the footage, he spotted Zig walking outside the school gates! This gave the children an important clue and we began our investigation to find out where she had gone.

The class worked together to create missing posters with pictures and descriptions of Zig. The children carefully wrote and decorated the posters and then put them up around the school to help everyone keep an eye out for her.

To make sure Zig could be found as quickly as possible, the children even decided to call 999 to ask the police for help. We explained that our puppet had disappeared and that we were very worried about her.

Luckily, the police were able to help! Zig was eventually spotted sitting right on top of the Catford Cat. Thankfully, PC Pooke rescued her and brought her safely back to school in the back of his police car.

The children were thrilled to have Zig returned to us and loved hearing about how the police help people in our community every day. It was a fantastic way for the children to learn about the important role the police play in keeping us safe.

Well done to all the Reception children for being such brilliant detectives!
