Enrichment – Debating

Should we blame previous generations for the climate crisis? That was the question the debating team considering in our groups this afternoon. After making sure we all knew what a debate was, and how it should be carried out, we watched Greta Thunberg’s climate crisis video and were split into two teams. One team saying it was right to blame past generations, the other saying it was not fair. We shared our own ideas and listened to others respectfully. We had wonderful collaboration shown by children of all ages helping each other to read, understand and speak to a listening audience. It was a great start to enrichment.
