Following our football debate we prepared and delivered scripts, designed flyers and posters, counted and verified the votes and we have collectively reached a decision. Football is ………………………..staying!! Well done to the ‘FOR’ and ‘AGAINST’ campaigners, you gave very well presented speeches with strong arguments to our infant classes, Mrs Gibson, Mrs Kerr, Miss Benson, Miss White, Mrs Woodhouse, Miss Henderson, Mrs Riley and Mrs Hendrie. Votes were quite close with 33 – 21 in support of keeping football. However, the story didn’t end there. We are very happy that football is staying but we also realised that changes need to be made. As a class, we chose 4 rules, drew up a contract and asked all infant pupils and staff to sign it. We will review this again in 2 weeks to discuss whether the changes have worked and whether or not our rules need to be tweeked. We have thoroughly enjoyed our real-life debate and cannot wait for our next one!
