Should we set zoo animals free?
This week in P4C Colchester Zoo wrote us a letter:
We discussed as a class what we thought the zoo should do. Children voted with their feet to choose if they thought the animals should be set free or if they should stay in the zoo.
Jaza: "I think animals should stay in their cages as they are safe in there."
Erin: "I think animals should be set free because they can't look after their babies who are in the wild."
The children used the sentence stems to help them articulate their ideas to their friends using good eye contact and gestures.
Next the children took turns to engage in a talk battle! One child was expressing their views on why animals should stay at the zoo whilst the other was saying why they should be set free!
