ORDER IN THE COURTROOM! Orchard Class's Crime and Punishment Trial...

In Humanities this week, Year 5 Orchard Class used their drama skills to create a courtroom in the classroom. 

We used our knowledge and understanding of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking judicial systems to decide suitable punishments for different crimes, and also compared ideas with a modern day prosecution team, to explore how the judicial system has changed; a jury then unanimously decided which punishments were more appropriate.
