Detectives for the Mystery at Wharepuni Estate

This week in reading we were detectives and had a big inferencing task  that was assigned by Miss Tele’a. My partner Carlo and I, were solving a crime of who stole the missing taonga at the Wharepuni Estate. We had to make inferences so we could knew who it was.  We infer that it was Tama Tuhi.  Because we found his footprints starting from the taonga to the garden.  He was hiding in the bushes and wanted to steal it because he didn’t want to feel guilty if they found it.

I enjoyed trying to find who the culprit was because it was fun.

I did well at using the evidence to make inferences.
