🎭 Year 9 Take the Stand! ⚖️
In a recent English lesson, our Year 9 students transformed the classroom into a courtroom for an intense two day trial of a character from Noughts & Crosses.
The Defense and Prosecution battled it out with compelling arguments, fierce questioning and jaw dropping cross examinations. Every single one of the 30 students played a vital role—Judge, Jury, Witnesses, Clerk, Bailiff, Court Reporters and even a Courtroom Artist!
The verdict? GUILTY!
👏 Huge well done to Year 9 for bringing literature to life in such a creative and dramatic way!
