We have been learning about the life of Mary, Queen of Scots over the past 2 weeks. Today, we had a mock murder trial where we debated who killed Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley.

Some children played the roles of the suspects Mary, Queen Elizabeth and James Hepburn. While others played the judge and his assistants who were in charge of presenting the case to the rest of the class who acted as the jury.

It was a very fun afternoon with some very heated debates about who was guilty and what their reasons for murdering Henry Stuart would have been.
