The Magistrates!

Mr Janjua

What an informative session today for Year Six! Today, we learnt about the Magistrates court. We looked at different types of crimes, courts and what you can be convicted for. Some children did some art from the perspective of the courtroom and had a go at the Coat of Arms logo.

After we looked at this in depth, the children had the opportunity to take part in a mock trial for the defendant Sam Little! How did you find this experience? Did you learn anything new?

Challenges:

Define the following words: Justice, guilt & trial.

Identify the different roles of people within a Magistrates setting. Who are they and what do they do?
