Year 4 – Debate a classic tale

Today the children in Year 4 took a classic tale and discussed their thoughts and feelings about who in the tale was right and who may have been in the wrong.
After a quick dramatisation of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ we then thought about who was actually right. Was it the three pigs or was in fact the wolf. The children then had to choose a point of view they agreed with.

Team Pig vs Team Wolf.

After some wonderful arguments for and against each of the characters the children then got a chance to persuade each other to join the opposite team.

After our hearty debate a number of children were then persuaded to go to the opposite team.

In the end most people change their thoughts and ideas and the wolf was deemed to be in the right. However, will things change next time when more evidence presents itself to the class.
