Maidenhead & Windsor

Pupils from Dedworth First School will become mini sleuths for the day when they start the new term with an innovative community safety treasure hunt on Monday 21 April.

They will hunt around their school grounds in Smiths Lane and in Dedworth library (adjacent to the school), searching for clues set by the headteacher, community wardens, librarians and police community support officers.

The clues relate to general awareness, community safety and about the library – with all the children receiving certificates and special awards for the ones who listen best to instructions. And demonstrate good and outstanding behaviour.

Cllr Jesse Grey, lead member for Windsor and Maidenhead community safety, said: "I think this is a really good iniative. It is great to get the children out and about, increasing their local knowledge and developing their investigative skills. It is also good to get them to develop their listening skills."
