Debates with Miss Carr's class and our Year 1 buddies

Date: 8th Feb 2018 @ 2:50pm

Our School Council representatives have been working hard to prepare a debate on the topic of...

Should we have homework.

Our buddy Year 1 class - Mrs Gerrard/Mrs Burke's class came to join us and listened carefully to the debate.

Esta had some excellent points to make about how we should use our free time to join clubs and spend time with our families after a long day working in school.

Olivia argued that practising work independently at home that we have learnt at school with the teacher gives us more confidence and makes us happier to try new things. She said that we need to get as much time to practise school work as possible to get a good job when we are older.

The vote was very close

28 votes for YES we should have homework 

27 votes for NO, we shouldn't have homework 

After our careful listening and concentration we had a play outside with our buddies!
