THERE has been some supernatural goings on at Bude Primary Federation — have aliens landed?

For around two weeks, pupils from Bude Junior and Infant Schools were scratching their heads and wondering what on earth could be occupying the school grounds, after what is thought to be a UFO crashed in the school field recently. Could it be aliens?

The Post received an alarming letter from staff and pupils asking for a reporter to visit the school right away, after investigating the school field.

They found charred grass, pieces of broken metal strewn across the site and evidence of a pit where a UFO is thought to have landed.

Pupils wrote a letter to leading scientist, Professor Brian Cox, detailing what they had seen and the evidence they had collected, who then sent a group of scientists to look more thoroughly into the incident.

On Wednesday, April 25, the scientists took samples and observed the scene. On Monday, April 30, pupils received a letter from Professor Brian Cox, and the schools were also featured in an exciting report on BBC News.

With alien slime smothered across the school field, and police tape warning passers-by to keep their distance, the children of Bude Primary Federation are very excited about the prospect of aliens occupying their school site, as Bude Infants teacher Sam Miles explained.

“We have CCTV images of the crash, and the children are pretty excited. They have been able to incorporate this incident into their literacy. We have been focusing on creative writing, and this has provided a good opportunity for the children to free flow write without any boundaries. It has really excited them and encouraged them to write.”

The children have been writing newspaper reports and letters on the incident during their literacy lessons.

In her news article, Year 5 pupil, Ruby, reported:

“Independence day returns! Last Sunday morning, 6am, Bude Primary Federation witnessed a mysterious alien space craft crash landing in their school grounds. The whole school were in shock, but are trying to ignore the situation.

“On the weekend, 21st April 2018 to be precise, in Bude some kind of UFO crash-landed on the school playing field. Unfortunately during the journey down, it exploded because the ship might have deployed self-destruct on their playing field.

“Scientists are saying supposedly that an intergalactic wave knocked the craft and the unidentified energy hacked into their technology, then it went out of control, that is how they think it crashed.”

Bude Junior School’s headmistress, Mrs Dyer, was very worried. “I am a bit upset about the damage but I’m pleased that everybody is safe.”

The care taker Mr Simon Hodge managed to look at the security footage on CCTV and watch it crash.

He said: “Although scientists have been here and taken samples, they have declared it safe. We are still waiting for the rest of the results and we hope it does not end in war!”

Meanwhile, Year 2 pupil Eddie’s letter perhaps encouraged Professor Brian Cox to send a team of scientists to do some more investigating!

It reads: “Dear Professor Brian Cox. When I went to the crash site I saw sharp pieces of shiny metal and a metal pole stuck in the ground. Yes there was a shiny glittery slime that means aliens are still alive! I think they’re here to play. Yours sincerely, Eddie.”

Deputy head, Mr Osborne, said: “Professor Brian Cox was able to explain what had happened, and we’ve had scientists, a BBC reporter and a reporter from the Bude & Stratton Post here at both schools to do some investigating.”

It seems alien life truly could be upon us, as the Bude Primary Federation children have been finding out. Exciting times lie ahead for the school as pupils continue to improve their investigation and reporting skills.
