Year 6 were excited to welcome Evie from the Theatre of Law project this morning. The Theatre of Law project has been designed for primary aged school children to understand how the justice system works, as well as increase understanding of jobs within the law and raise aspirations to pursue a career in the law.
Year 6 have been challenged to write a mock-trial script. From the development of the story to the final script, we will be exploring crime, taking interviews, investigating the different jobs within the law which will ensure we complete our script and set a court scene.
Afterwards, we will be visiting the Royal Courts of Justice where we will play out the trial in a real courtroom, taking the roles of the people in the trial. Working with a legal professional and having the opportunity to ask questions about the jobs within the law.
The children were astonished to learn that all of the above were crimes: criminal damage and vandalism, assault and joint enterprise.
We examined a teenager named Johnny, who had committed a robbery. We discussed the roles of the people involved in a court case.
