Robbery in Buenos Aires
Today the Al-Qasem family had a close escape from being robbed by a robber in a tube in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The robber went in the train as them at the same time, and then when the train went to the very next stop, when the doors opened the robber sneaked into Mr Al-Qasem’s pocket, got his wallet, opened it, took the money out, and put the wallet on the floor. Mr AlQasem felt something going on with his pocket so then he searched for his wallet. The robber pointed to the dad’s wallet.
While Mr AlQasem was picking up his wallet, the robber walked away with the money. Then Mrs AlQasem heard Mr AlQasem say “where’s my money?”. She saw someone walking in a rush, so she knew it was the robber and ran after him. Then the man threw her the money because he saw the dad running after him, so then the robber started running as well.
The robber jumped over a barrier, so did Mr AlQasem. This is when sports are useful, Mr AlQasem did a rugby tackle by tapping the man’s right leg and then the robber tripped up, and another man kept the robber down. When the police came, the robber started bashing his head to make blood dribble down his face so that later on when he is being questioned by the judge, he could say that the police were beating him up (which they weren’t).
They brought the robber upstairs to talk with him and then one of the policemen went to Mrs AlQasem and asked her some questions and at the end he said that the man was from Chile.

Hi Omar!
Wow, you have been so so busy! I loved reading your blog to the class! For some reason, some of your more recent posts had not been appearing so we had a bit of a back log! Your photos look incredible and we can all see that you are having an amazing time! You are a wonderful spderman and you looked very relaxed on your bike. Personally I was impressed with the handstands photo!!Everyone cannot wait to hear about it all from you and keep on asking when you will be back! I hope that you are learning lots of things. We have been learning about a healthy diet and the effects on the body this half term so think about all of the food you are eating and which food groups they belong to. You can also be thinking of similes to describe the beautiful things you are seeing!
Look after yourslef and your family, stay clear of robbers!
