The young historians in Y3 took part in an oracy session, where they took sides and respectfully debated the advantages and disadvantages of living in each period in Prehistory ( considering the changes that had occurred). They came up with many logical arguments, that they bravely stood up to articulate with confidence to the group. They listened, understood and then responded to the view of their fellow historians.

It proved to be a great session, where the children not only thought like historians, but also spoke like ones too. They then went on to write a response to the question with the disciplinary knowledge they had developed from the debating lesson.
