As a part of our study into systems and societies, rights and responsibilities, Tangaroa took a field trip to the Nelson Court Rooms last week. We were shown around the court house and given explanations of how things work regarding our rights and responsibilities.
“To find out how the court system works, Room 15 did a role play. We figured out that the 12 Jurys have the power of making the accused either guilty or not, the judge just issues the sentence. There is also the offence that is charged against the accused and the defence that tries to defend the accused. The newspaper is also present and the police guards that keep the audience safe. It was fascinating to see what really happens.” Amber Mason
“After the courts house, as class we went to walk the to the centre of New Zealand. It only took about 15 minutes to walk up and around 10 minutes to get down. When we got to the top we could see the beautiful view of Nelson, hills and our amazing ocean” Hannah Williams.
the roll play was really fun so was the walk.
