Submission by St Matthias School
St Matthias’ police report by Detective Gordon
We really enjoyed The First Case! After reading the book, we thought about all of the things that Detective Gordon and Buffy did to solve the crime. We split into small groups and each planned and wrote a bit of the police report. We hope you like it!

Northumberland Heath Primary School First Case report
We worked so hard revisiting the book and picking out the key events and vocabulary that we could use in our police report. We also looked at some police reports online and identified the features of a police report to use in ours. We made it huge so that everybody got a chance to do something on it and decorated it around the edge, because we thought that’s what Buffy and Detective Gordon would have done! We hope you like it.

Visualisation
Our Yr 2 RG found the visualisation activity really interesting and so did I! They loved seeing each other’s pictures and seeing how different they all were. I particularly liked the fact that one of our RG focused on the fact that the squirrel found the police station strange and drew a very strange police station!
Comments
8th Nov 2019, 2:04pm Visualisation is such a powerful skill. It's so interesting to see how differently we picture things isn't it?8th Nov 2019, 3:16pm How lovely! Visualisation helps us to see things through other's eyes, as well as helping with our own understanding. -

A New Coat For Mrs Noah
We made Mrs Noah a patchwork coat using patterns that made us think of her character. The pockets holding some of our work are in the style of hands because it reminded us how caring Mrs Noah was in saving all the ‘troublesome creatures’.
Comments
8th Nov 2019, 10:58am Quite beautiful. I loved the contents of the pockets too, what genuine responses! -
Submission by Northumberland Heath Primary School
Mrs Noah’s hooded jacket of many colours
It’s clearly evident how much fun our Year 2 RG group have had creating a new jacket for Mrs. Noah! I was absolutely blown away by their use of pattern and colour inspired by the illustrations in the book. They collaborated amazingly well together and it was a real team effort. They filled her pockets with wanted posters, weather forecasts and pictures of their troublesome creatures. I am so proud of them all.
Comments
14th Nov 2019, 9:21am Beautiful work! The weather forecast would certainly be very useful! -
Submission by St Matthias School
St Matthias’ Mrs Noah’s fabulous coat!
We looked at the patterns in the book and used ideas to design Mrs Noah's coat. Then we thought about what she might have in her pockets and drew troublesome creatures, boats, lists and maps. We hope you like it! By St Matthias Year 2 group.
Comments
8th Nov 2019, 10:54am I can really see the influence of James Mayhew in your colour choices here! What a wonderful coat! -

Inspiring patterns
Yr 2 RG were so inspired by the patterns and colours used in ‘Mrs Noah’s Pockets’. They have done an amazing job of recreating them in their own art work and cannot wait to get started on Mrs Noah’s new outfit for their mini challenge.
Comments
15th Oct 2019, 8:58am These are wonderful. We are really looking forward to seeing your mini challenge entry.24th Oct 2019, 1:35pm Ooh yes, we can't wait to see your design! -
Troublesome Creatures?
Our year 2 RG used some great descriptions to try and convince Mr Noah to save their chosen ‘troublesome creature’. However, we all agreed that the minotaur was just a little too scary for us!
Comments
11th Oct 2019, 11:27am Fantastic descriptions! Yes that is a rather scary minotaur!11th Oct 2019, 3:40pm He does look very troublesome! -
