Every Tuesday, children in Reception up to Year 6 have been having class assemblies called ‘Talking Tuesdays’. The School Councilors in Years 1-6 are encouraged to lead their classes in a discussion around a question or ‘silly’ statement to debate. The children are also encouraged to use our ‘Oracy Hand Signals’ to support structuring their verbal debates.
We would love for our families to also have a go at debating at home! Our ‘silly’ statement this week was themed around one of our school values ‘resilience’.
‘Failing is a sign you should stop doing something, even if you really enjoy it.’ What do you think?
