Last night we put up the Christmas tree. I have 25 ornaments!

Ok so it's 15 days til Christmas. 13 days til the beach. 21 days til the end of the year. 5 and a half days til the holidays. Today I'm doing my end of year dancing concert. Our theme is Outer Space. I'm planet Venus in Tap and an alien in Modern. For Tap I'm wearing a blue leotard with silver sleeves and I've got a beady silver head piece, white socks and tan tap shoes, silver lipstick and sequins. For Modern I've got Green peddal pushers, mixed blue and green top, two feelers, white socks and white modern shoes. And silver lipstick. I got best level 3 Modern dancer. And a letter writing set.

I'm going away for a week to Danielle's Granny's. She says they own a forest, have an attic, have rabbits, birds, horses, dogs, goats and many other things. Sounds cool!

Mysteries:
1. What is the thumping?
2. What killed the rabbit?
3. What is the feather for?
4. Does the ? shelter in the tree?
5. Does the ? shelter in the barn?
6. Is poo in the barn part of our mystery?

Plan: 
Detect and find as much evidence as possible. Get some fly spray. Get some maggot spray.


Evidence: 
Rabbit poo.
Spotted egg.
Rabbit bone.
Footprints.
Thumping noise.
Flea in brown fur.
Fur = Grey.
6 Rabbit holes.

19/12
Saw rabbit at 11.45am. It went into a burrow.
Saw 2 rabbits race down hill and into burrow at 2.47pm.

20/12
Saw rabbit run into burrow by barn at 1.36pm.
Saw same rabbit in barn at 1.39pm.
Saw baby rabbit pop its head out of its hole at 1.50pm. Then it snuck back in. At 1.52pm it did the same again.


Brief probable:
A ferret is on the farm and eating duck eggs and rabbits. We think it is a ferret because they make their holes straight down and so does one in the middle of three rabbit holes.

Mystery solved:
A ferret decided to start living by the rabbit hole so it could catch food. Failing, and then noticing a few hares, it caught a few and ate the necks. A wild dog came by and finished it off except for the 2 leg bones. Then 2 farm dogs came by and finished off. After eating the hares, the ferret finished on duck eggs.
