Forensic Science Presentation

Today we had detectives Kate and Gavin come into talk to us about how forensic science works and the different techniques for finding out who the offender is. Some of the techniques they use to investigate the scene such as investigating DNA like blood,saliva,hair,fingerprints and footprints.Some things when investigating you cant see maybe from an angle or just cant see in general, they might shine a torch at different angles to see footprints or uv lights for non visable blood or prints.

Once upon a pigs butt there was a cockroach. he was on his way to a special event called the pig's belly. Mr cockroach was a long lean creature wearing a waistcoat and 4 pairs of dress shoes. Mr cockroach was not a kind creature and he always had a mean look about his face but he only ever wanted to be nice to people but had a disability called mean word syndrome. he’d always say stuff like “eat mud ya freaks” which as you know is really mean. When mr cockroach arrived at the event the crowd all sighed and left. Mr cockroach had no idea what was going on. He stopped and thought for a minute and he still had no idea what he did wrong. He looked around for anyone that was still at the event and saw mr bird he ran over to him. “Mr bird why does no one like me?”he asked curiously. Mr bird was honest with him and said “well every time someone talks to you,you say something mean and no one likes a mean person that's why they all left.” mr cockroach wasn't trying to be mean so he said he's going to make it up to them by going round and apologising. Mr cockroach ran all around the town door to door apologising to everyone saying he wasn't trying to be mean. And they all lived happily.
