Debatemate Launch Trip!

 

At St Clare's, we are so excited to be starting the Debate Mate program again this year! 

1o children have been chosen from Years 5 and 6, to take part in the club. It will run every Wednesday,. and pupils will learn all the skills associated with holding a debate, and get to take part in many of their own debates too. There will be lots of opportunities for children to go to other schools and get involved in debates with groups of children from all over Manchester.

 

On Friday, our pupils went to a Debate Mate Launch experience at the University of Manchester. It was fun, lively and exciting, and got them very excited to begin the program this week! As well as learning about the types of topics they will debate about, they also got to watch university students take part in a live debate. A great day was had by all!
