Play in Young Children

We may be learning online, but that doesn't mean we cannot work as a whole class or in teams to put a debate together! Students in Year 6 have been learning about the roles and rules of running a debate. We have practiced with a few topics like 'Homework should be banned' and students came up with reasons for and against. We used the google app - Jamboard to brainstorm our ideas. We then selected a new topic 'All zoos should be closed down'. This was a battle of boys against girls this time, to see who would win the first official round of the Year 6 debating competition. Each team came up with some excellent reasons to support their side of the argument. But who was the winner?
