Children in KS1 P4C club were asked to decide whether they'd choose to live without sweets or without TV. What followed was a lively debate, filled with excellent reasoning and critical thinking! Topics the children mainly focused on were boredom, dental health and physical health.
Charlotte thought that life without sweets wouldn't be so bad because you could eat other sweet things like strawberries and peppers! Abigail added that too many sweets would make you poorly.
Opposing this, Lily said that just because she had lots of sweets, didn't mean that she would eat loads all at once! Besides, she said that she would make her own fun instead of watching TV.
Vincent, who originally chose 'no TV', was convinced by his opposition and concluded that a little bit of both would probably be the best. Stanley settled on having no sweets, but maybe when he fancied a sweet treat, he would turn off the TV and go to forage for ingredients to make his own!
The children are looking forward to their next debate!
