THERE have been strange happenings at St Joseph’s Primary in Penketh, including a suspected alien abduction of the headteacher Alan Saunders.

As part of their latest project, pupils have been investigating a ‘wreckage’ in the school playground, composing crash landing lunar music and creating timelines.

Police also visited to help the children examine the evidence from the alien landing and thankfully Mr Saunders has now been safely returned to his office.
