All Rise!
Some of the Year 6 children took a break from Joseph rehearsals today. We were very lucky to be invited to the first Mock Trial Competition organised by the Greater Manchester Magistrate Association; an exciting opportunity to gain some insight into what happens in a real court. We travelled to the Friends' Meeting House in Manchester, after preparing to play the various roles as the Defence Team. These included: Usher, Solicitor, Magistrate, Witness, Court Artist, Court Reporter and the Defendent. All of the children were fantastic in their roles and were great ambassadors for St. Vincent's. We convinced "the bench" that our defendant was not guitly and were delighted with the result.
Whilst we were taking part in the trial we were lucky enough to meet the High Sheriff and MP Graham Brady who were there to watch the primary schools competing against each other. Watch this space for competition results.
