DebateMate in Years 5 and 6

Children in the Year 5 and Year 6 have been taking part in weekly Debate Mate sessions. Just before the half term they enjoyed a lively and thought-provoking debating session, where they discussed a range of topics and practiced their PEEL (point, explanation, evidence and link) skills!
