Year 4 Skills Builder Lesson

Year 4, during their Skills builder lesson, considered the legal system and how people deserve to be given a fair trial. After considering a case, the children debated if a person was innocent or guilty based on some initial facts given about a crime. The class was divided regarding what they thought and one person was brave enough to say they did not know either way. The class then had a debate on what should be the youngest age someone could be sent to court for a crime. The ages ranged from 13 to 20 and the children were excellent at giving the reasons for their arguments.
