We split into teams and were given a proposing or opposing side on the following: Shorter School Holidays, Banning Computers in School and No School Uniform. After a lot of research and planning we held our debates as well as a vote within the class. Although completely fictional proposals, we still enjoyed discussing the pros and cons and coming up with our own arguments. ### Y5 Debates
