Lockdown Challenge: Debates

 Kia ora everyone, 

I hope you are safe and well. I'm at home in my pyjamas writing this. Btu just because I'm in my PJs doesn't mean I am not working and learning - and I hope the same is true for you :) 


This week, whānau, please put aside some time each day to sit down together and debate a topic with your child/ren. It is really important that they keep up their persuasive language skills over lockdown. The topics don't have to be serious but each side should think of at least three points for their point of view and then elaborate them and give examples. Here are some topics you could choose from: 


  • Tomatoes are better than carrots
  • Everyone should have to grow their own food
  • Children should make all the kai at home (not the adults)
  • School should start at lunchtime and finish at dinner time
  • Students should be able to bring phones to school
  • We should only speak Te Reo Māori in our classrooms
  • If I could go bak in time the best time to go back to would be.... (choose two different eras)
  • Cars should be banned
  • Everyone should have a free house
  • There should be a zoo in every neighbourhood
  • Trains and buses should be free for school children and their teachers

Please leave a comment and let us all know how you are going. And share any topics you come up with!
Ngā mihi nunui ki a koutou 
Naomi
