Year 4 English Home Learning W/E
Friday 13th February 2015
This week the children have been finding out the arguments for
and against returning the Elgin Marbles to Greece. For home learning the
children should continue to put together a short talk on their chosen debate
ready to present to the class straight after half term. Children may make a
power point to support their talk if they wish, however this is not necessary
as notes will me more than sufficient. The teachers are looking for confident
speakers and will be marking the presentations on the delivery, language and
tone of the speaker only.
Children should choose one
of the following questions to discuss.
1. Should animals be kept in
zoos?
2. Should all children have free
school dinners?
3. Should children be taught to
swim at school?
4. Should children wear school
uniform?
5. Should families grow their
own fruit and vegetables?
6. Should there be a time / age
limit on TV / phone / electronic devices used by children?
7. Should the voting age be
reduced to 16?
8. Should rainforests be cut
down?
9. Should the 2022 football
world cup be held in Quatar?
10. Own idea.
