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 question this week was themed around ‘Time to Talk Day’. “Which is more important- your own happiness, or making other people happy?” What do you think?
