Year 5/6 had an unforgettable day at the Galleries of Justice in Nottingham!
We stepped back in time during a Crime and Punishment workshop, exploring the harsh realities of Georgian and Victorian punishment methods. From stocks and public shaming to transportation and prison life, we discovered just how different justice looked in the past.
The highlight of the day was taking part in a mock trial inside a real courtroom. Everyone had a role to play—judge, jury, defendant, and witnesses—and we got a taste of how justice was served centuries ago.
It was a fascinating mix of history, drama, and hands-on learning that brought the past vividly to life. A huge thank you to the Galleries of Justice team for making history so engaging!
