In our literacy session today, we have engaged in multiple discussions to practise using key words and phrases in preparation for our balanced argument writing next week. We have explored how using key words such as ‘however, therefore, on the other hand, as a result…’ impacts our writing. We have tried our best to incorporate this into our own vocabulary!

Our three discussion points were: “Should children have to do homework in primary school?”, “Should school begin at 10:00am and end at 4:00pm?” and “Should children wear school uniform?”

Take a look at some snippets from our group discussions…
