The Crime of the Century

When the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in Paris in 1911

it caused a sensation and left the art world and police puzzled

as to how it had been taken and who had carried out the crime.

It also helped make the work of art probably the most famous

painting in the world.

At first, the police suspected artists who didn't like classical

works of art of carrying out the crime. The poet Apollinaire was

arrested and questioned for a few days. 1.  

However, the true thief was an Italian man named Vincenzo

Peruggia. He had a criminal record and had found work in the

Louvre for a time. On the day the crime took place, he entered

the museum along with other museum employees wearing the

same white smock. 2.   He then took the painting off

the wall and left the building with the work of art wrapped in

his white smock.

Peruggia kept the painting for two years in his Paris apartment

before eventually contacting an Italian art dealer, offering to

return the painting to Florence for a reward . 3.   He

argued he was returning the painting to its rightful home.

He was finally arrested after passing the painting to the dealer.

However, many Italians saw his actions as those of a national

hero. 4.   The painting was indeed shown off around

Italy before it was eventually returned to Paris and the Louvre.

5.   However, after being stolen and finally returned , it

became more well known, its popularity grew and, as we know

now, made the Mona Lisa smile famous around the world.

A Previously, the painting had been admired by experts.

B He waited until there was nobody in the gallery.

C So the painting became popular in France.

D Because of this, he only went to prison for a short while .

E He said that he was doing his duty as a proud Italian.

F But nobody knew it had disappeared.

G Even the great Pablo Picasso was thought by some to be guilty.

H It is now kept safely behind special glass .

Headteacher Mary Collins talks

about healthy school days

Since I took up my role of Head at Franley Junior School I have

been keen to educate our children on the importance of developing

healthy habits. I started by working with our restaurant manager

to come up with tasty new menus that contain lots of healthy

ingredients. We change the menu Monday to Friday to encourage

the children to try different things and keep unhealthy fried food to

a minimum. The children have enjoyed the meals and eat a wide

range of fruit and vegetables.

We've also rented an area of land near the school for a vegetable

garden and made gardening a part of the school curriculum.

Children now prepare the ground for planting, plant the seeds

and watch as these turn into healthy fruit and vegetable plants.

We're planning to create a child-friendly kitchen so our pupils can

discover the pleasure of cooking. I believe all this gives the children

an understanding of where our food comes from and very important

skills that will stay with them for life.

To support this healthy-eating campaign, we have also made

changes to the amount of physical exercise we get our children to

do during the day. We start every morning before classes with a

·wake and shake' session in the playground when children get the

chance to burn off energy with fun exercise routines. We also have

different play times during the day so the playground isn't crowded,

which means the children can run around safely. To support this we

have also invested in sports equipment such as tennis, football and

gym equipment to encourage the youngsters to take up sports.

But ifs not just the children who are developing a healthy lifestyle.

Several of our teachers have signed up for the Franley Fun Run this

summer for the first time and have started a training programme

in order to get fit. Many of our pupils have joined them and will be

taking part in the run as well. I'm sure that seeing their teachers

beside them will inspire them to finish. We have even had several

parents show an interest in doing the event as well, so this is

something we're all really looking forward to.
