Philosophy is thinking deeply.
Every Friday, we start our day with some time to wonder and ponder.
We’ve a different question each week – there’s no obvious right/wrong answer and no underlying moral message. All children are given the opportunity to contribute their ideas and give reasons for their thoughts.
This week’s question related to our school vision. Our vision is to be…
…a happy and healthy place to achieve and believe.

This question sparked some interesting discussion and debate.
Healthy is more important because if you don’t stay healthy, you won’t feel very well. – Logan
I think healthy because you need to keep healthy so you can come to school and school makes you happy. – Poppy
If you weren’t happy, it could be a world of everyone being sad. – Izabella
I think healthy because you don’t always have to be happy. – Vincent
If you only eat healthy stuff, it might make you a bit angry and you wouldn’t be happy. – Woody
Our oracy focus this half term is:
