Monday 23rd February

A strange visit.
This morning, Year Three came into their classroom to find that a table had been tipped over and some chairs had been knocked over. The box of used ink cartridges, left in the classroom for recycling had been spilt over the floor.



On one of the tables there was a mysterious parcel. Under this, there was a piece of paper poking out.





It seemed as if there had been a break-in, but none of the windows was broken and nothing had been taken. There was a strange mark on a table, which might have been a hand or footprint.
The piece of paper under the parcel was very carefully pulled out. It was a letter, which read:
"People,
I am Drac, smallest of the dragonfolk.
Help us to find the George who left us alone in the wilderness and did not return.
He was a people like you and has been gone a long time."

It was signed by Drac.

When the parcel was carefully opened, it was found to contain jelly babies and strange chocolate coins which had the word Ghana on them. These were covered with gold and orangey-brown coloured metal.

At playtime, the children of Year Three found a lot of chalk and sand marks in the playgrounds. Some children went to try and collect some of the marks on a piece of sticky backed plastic.
Mrs Hague tried to use the sticky backed plastic to collect the strange mark in the classroom, but it did not work. She later drew a picture of the marks before they were rubbed off.
Mr Coulbeck went to look at the CCTV footage.
In the afternoon, the class spoke to Mrs Palfreyman, the caretaker to find out what she knew. She told everyone that there had been a break-in and a lot of sand and chalk had been thrown around in the Reception playground. This had happened last Wednesday. All the school had been tidied after this had happened. Year Three had been left tidy on Saturday afternoon. This meant that our visitor must have come between Saturday night and Monday morning.
Before leaving school at the end of the day, Mrs Hague laft a message in the classroom in case Drac returned.
