CSI: Revolting Remus the arch villain!

On Friday, the master criminal Remus escaped from custody. He travelled through many different capital cities before arriving at his secret lair in Mikurajima, Japan. Luckily, the Redhill CSI's got on the case straight away! They worked in pairs to solve different clues to find out the route that Remus took to his secret lair. Within hours, the CSI's gathered together to decide upon the best course of action. Miss Sawicki and Mrs Ali, the lead detectives at Redhill have asked the team of junior CSI's to research the capital cities that Remus has been spotted in. It is important that the CSI's visit each country that Remus has travelled through so that we can collect vital evidence. To do this, we need to learn as much information about each capital city as possible so that we are not taken by surprise by the Revolting Remus gang. The CSI team will then be able to create a mission plan which will lead to the arrest of this terrible villain.

Here is a list of what must be included in each report:

Location
Methods of transport used in this country
Terrain/Landscape
Weather/Climate
Population
Flag
General Facts

Read the CSI reports on each capital city below. What do you think of our writing?

Welcome to a new year!

A new year has started and our current Year 5 class are settling in to school really well. I would like to welcome the children and their parents to this class blog and I hope you enjoy using it throughout the year.

Pages and posts will be added to the blog on a regular basis so that children can share the excellent work they are doing in class with their parents. I would really appreciate parents taking the time to share this blog with their children and please feel free to add comments about the work the children are doing. We will be adding pieces of work, photos, videos and posts that readers will be able to comment on. Last year, the blog worked really well with both parents and children and I hope that we can keep this up.  The children really enjoyed reading comments people made about their work and it made them feel very proud of their achievements. 

The children of Year 5 will have a special lesson based on Internet safety and how to use the blog. Parents will be sent a letter with instructions on how to access the blog and comment on posts but please feel free to ask questions you may have.

I look forward to having an extremely successful year!
