Pupils were called in to investigate after a ‘UFO’ crash-landed in their school playground.
Year 5 students at Ben Rhydding Primary School arrived at the scene to discover debris scattered across the ground and the area cordoned off by police tape.
The simulated investigation was led by PC Brian Southgate and involved pupils dressing up in forensic suits to gather evidence and testing substances for signs of life. Year 5 teacher Glenda Cumberland said: “It was a fantastic afternoon and the children worked very hard at clearing the sight of evidence, labelling their exhibits and then working out the riddles written on them to solve the mystery of where the spacecraft had come from.
“By the end of the afternoon, they had deduced that the craft had come all the way from Pluto.”
