26 Apr Debating Competition
This week a group of children from Year 5 and 6 visited Westminster University to take part in a debating competition. Since September, they have been working with an organisation called Debate Mate. Working with university students, they have been learning how to debate, how to speak confidently to an audience and how to be persuasive in their arguments. On Monday, they were able to try out their new skills by debating with other schools from across London. The children were incredible – they were respectful to the other teams, showed real bravery and grew in confidence as the day progressed. They won some debates, lost others and made us all feel very proud of them. Well done all!
