Democracy Project
This week, we are electing our class representatives from Year 5 and 6.
In previous years, the children elected have been able to meet up with children from other schools in the BEV consortium to discuss issues they feel are important. There, they engage debates which sometimes involve them arguing for or against an opinion that they might not necessarily agree with. This has given the children involved the opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills as they learn to formulate strong points to support the views they are arguing for or against.
Our next debate is due to take place on Tuesday 21st November when we will decide our agenda for the year.
