Today, Year 5 debated the motion that “Animals should have been used in World War 1”. This links to our new text in Literacy (War Horse by Michael Morpurgo) where we are reading about the poor horse, Joey, who gets sent to fight in the great war.
The children articulated their points extremely well and were able to respond and question the opposing point of view. After a vote, it was decided that animals should have been used in World War 1. Here is a photograph of our winning (and very persuasive!) debating team.
