Court was in session in Year 5 as the trial of several pupils accused of claiming that not only was the Earth roughly spherical, but that it revolves around the Sun, came to a close. In a sensational conclusion, Year 5 successfully defended their clients. Gathering witness evidence from Phoenician sailors to demonstrate that the surface of the Earth must be curved they then used expert testimony from Nicolaus Copernicus and Johannes Kepler to prove that the Sun must be at the centre of the Solar System. Summing up, Judge Fishwick congratulated Year 5 on their “use of scientific evidence to prove their theories.”
