This half term children in Y6 are learning all about crime and punishment and how it has changed over time, from the Roman era to today.

Last week we were so excited to have a visitor from Newcastle Castle.

We learned even more about crime and punishment, focusing closely on the Vikings. We got to dress up and take part in role play, acting out a case in court with a judge and jury. We were even lucky enough to handle some real artefacts and weapons used in punishments for crimes.

“The workshop was so interesting and I found it really fun to act out scenes” – Maizie W

“The artefacts were interesting to look at and touch and I was shocked at how they were used. The punishments were so unfair and brutal back then” – Ella G
