The Idea

When a class 11B’s teacher is abnormally late for his lesson the students investigate where he may be by searching for clues around his desk. However they come up with humorous and sometimes bizarre reasons for his absence.

Clue 1- The Note

Student Chloe thinks that a break up note from Beyoncé Knowles caused Mr. Smith to have a day off.

“Hi Smith, we had a good run you and me. I’m sorry but I can’t do this any more. BK x”

Clue 2- The Cast List

Cast List for the Over 30’s Operatic Society, with the lead role having the surname Smith.

Student Meg figures that he has left the school to fulfil his dream of being in musical theatre

Cast list for Joseph and his amazing Technicolor dream coat

ROLE NAMEJOSEPH J.Smith

CLUE 3

Google Maps is on a temple on Burma (Temple, Pin Laung, Taunggyi, Shan, Myanmar)Student Oli realises that the address is for a Tibetan temple, suspecting that Mr Smith has gone to live as a monk.

Mr. Smith arrives

He was late because he had to queue up and buy tickets to watch his brother in a Operatic society show. The note was from his friend in Burma who sells his favourite Tibetan tea but she has gone out of business.

The Truth?He calls Beyoncé and is begging her to be back together with him.He threatens that if she doesn’t go out with him again he will leave England and go and live life as a monk- as he has already visited the temple last night to see if he can go there.But Beyoncé knows that he is only using her to get the contacts and publicity to become a musical star.
