Year 6 have been doing a deep dive into the causes and effects of Climate Change, and are now looking at how we can learn lessons from past civilisations that caused problems for their own environment.
Our main assessment method has been to use something called a Harkness debate and you can see Eagles preparing for theirs here. The main aim of the debate is to ensure that all participants listen to the views of the other attendees and try to take account of different view points.
Despite having a lot of strongly held views about what courses of action our societies should take in the future. All the classes did really well and improved their knowledge whilst also learning new interpersonal skills and we will use this method again in the future.
