The village of Little Hallow spend all year preparing for the carnival. Everyone gets involved. Floats are made to look like pirate ships, treasure caves, dinosaurs and palaces. A carnival queen is chosen from a group of eager young ladies and the roads are closed for the parade.
Stalls are set up selling everything from tickets for the teacup rides to wristbands for the helter-skelter.
But disaster has struck! Hundreds of balloons have been kept under a huge net to stop them flying off too early. People have paid for a balloon, to win a prize for the balloon which gets the furthest. However, a naughty person has crept beside the huge net and released the balloons before the countdown! There are balloons bouncing all over the place, getting caught in trees, bumping into the church spire and generally causing mayhem as they disappear into the sky!
Your task is to use the descriptions of the people seen near the balloons and solve the clues to work out who is the mystery balloon releaser!

Mr and Mrs West own a dog called Patsy. They have brought Patsy to the carnival because they believe she can work out different calculations. She barks when she thinks an answer is right. Is she always right, though?

If there are more false answers than true ones, the culprit is female.
If there are more true answers than false ones, the culprit is male.

Writing good description, we use adjectives and adverbs to give more
information about nouns.
Nouns name things, including objects, creatures, people or feelings: a
ball. Nouns often have words like a, an, the or some in front of them.
Adjectives are describing words. They often come before a noun (a red
ball) but they can be further on in the sentence too: the ball was red and
round.
Adverbs tell us a bit more about an adjective. We often use adverbs like
very, really, quite, extremely and rather in descriptions: an extremely
bright, red ball.

Maisie cares for her dragon
Maisie cares for her little dragon. She gives it a very bouncy ball to play
with. She also gives it an extremely comfortable bed with a blanket that is
soft and fluffy.
Maisie bathes her dragon when it is dirty and dries it with a soft, white
towel. She gives it delicious food to eat and takes it for quite long walks on
a long lead.
Maisie reads her dragon funny stories and tucks it up in bed. Sleep well,
dragon!
Highlight the nouns with one colour.
Highlight the adjectives with another colour.
Highlight the adverbs with a third colour.
Check the Answers sheet to see if you spotted them all.
Aha! Evidence has been discovered! A mobile phone was found near the place
where the balloons were being kept. Ice creams cost £1 and 36p each.
Work out which child has exactly the right amount of money to buy an ice cream. Then, use the table below to find out which type of mobile phone was found beside the balloons.

Wider Curriculum
If we were in school, today would be the last day with your Year 2
teacher and we would have a tidy up / toy afternoon.
First, find a tidying up job to do. This could be your bedroom,
sorting out your toys or ask an adult for a job to do. Listen to the Tidy Up Rhumba song while you’re doing your tidying up job.
