In Year 5 we have been investigating persuasive writing.  We have read lots of examples and written our own persuasive leaflets.  Now we are preparing for a class debate.  Today we were given the topics for our debates:   

        It is wrong to spend billions of pounds on space exploration

       Cars should be banned from city centres

       Competitive sports in school should be banned

       All schools should have at least one meat free day a week

What is your opinion on these statements?

We worked hard in groups to come up with our arguments and facts and statistics.  Next we will write our speeches and then we will be ready for our great debate!!  We'll let you know which sides won.
