Year 6 RCJ photos

Venturing off along the many routes of the underground, today Year 6 reached their destination: Temple. It was there that they would discover the Royal Courts of Justice and their guide and law specialist, Selena. Selena is a barrister and all too familiar with the grounds of the statuesque building, where she oversees various trials.

Over the past few weeks Year 6 have been taking part in an NCCL project called "The Theatre of Law". The project involved them getting to grips with roles found in a court room, types of courts and how the British law system works to encourage a fair and just trial for all. 

Today our children not only enacted their own trial with ushers, clerks, barristers, witnesses, defendant, judge and jury, but they also got to meet our barrister Selena and a judge and ask them some hard-hitting questions:

"How long did it take you to train to be a judge?" asked Tahani.

"What's been your most memorable trial to date and why?" asked Matthew.

"Have you ever regretted a decision that you've made in court?" asked Tianna. 

Our children had a fantastic experience today and have learned so much about law along the way. Great job Year 6!
