It was primary 6’s turn this week to create a display for the Rights Respecting School notice board. We researched Article 40 : I have the right to get legal help and to be treated fairly if I have been accused of breaking the law.
This lead to lots of discussion on what the pupils thought the age of criminal responsibility should be and how children who have broken the law should be treated. We created a word cloud of our ideas and also set the classroom up like a courtroom with a judge!
As it is World of Work Week the pupils also explored the different job roles within the legal system.
