Year 5 Skills Builder
In our skills builders lesson we used listening, speaking and teamwork skills. Year 5 had to explore three crimes: cyberbullying, vandalism and theft. We had to make notes, including the Mitigating and aggravating circumstances. Then we had to write the most important facts about the crime ready to share with the other groups, using the evidence that we found we formed arguments for and against. They talked about what argument might the prosecution or defence come up with for this point in the crime report. We had to decide on three main arguments you will make in court.
