Dr George Gross

Updated: Feb 26



A very encouraging session.


We began with an extensive newsround, taking in:

  • AI/and the international forum and discussion

  • Trump's announcements

  • Earthquakes in Greece and the Cayman islands

  • The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico proposal

  • News from Guyana 


Our debates looked at the motions/topics:

Do video games benefit our learning?

Should we have open borders and a world without passports?

Is it better to have a few close friends, or lots of acquaintances?

If you were stranded on a desert island, what one item would you bring?

Should we bring back plastic straws?

Should we have more music in school?


Skills focus this week, took in: conclusions and the use of ethos, pathos and logos in our debating. Very well done all and also for some very impressive POIs.
