Today pupils in P6/5 and P7 from Greenrigg were joined by pupils in the debating team from Stoneyburn. During the day they were working on different skills linked to debating. In the afternoon a group of pupils participated in a debate for other pupils including pupils in p3/4 who were invited to watch.
The motion of the debate was ‘All children get a free school lunch’. Both sides presented their arguments and then questions were invited from the audience. Overall the proposition won.
The debating team had prepared great speeches to support their side.
It was great working with such confident and articulate young people who were keen to share and justify their opinions!
I hear it was a great day! Well done boys and girls!
