Literacy: BIG questions????
23 Jan 2014
PHILOSOPHY FOR CHILDREN
'Let your voice be heard!'
Is there always HOPE in any situation?
Dylan: I think that if you believe then there's always hope.
Sophie: There isn't always hope because if you are getting beaten up you can't really do much.
Sam: I think NO because if there was always hope then nothing bad would happen and people wouldn't be punished.
Sahma: YES because you should always think positive!
Should we always do exactly as we are told?
Muhammad: I think it depends on the situation because if someone told you to jump off the cliff you wouldn't do it.
Emily: NO because you can get hurt but if it is a teacher telling you to do your work then YES.
ALEX: I think it depends largely on the situation .
Are stories important?
Oluchi: YES because they can teach you lessons about life.
Haroon: I think stories are important to gain new knowledge.
Lizzie: Stories are important because they let your imagination go wild.
Is life one big story?
Luc: NO because you don't live forever.
Owen: YES because you experience different moments like in a story.
Josh GT: Life is a big story with a beginning and end like birth then death.
Henry: Life isn't one big story because where a story is the same everytime you read it if you were to live your life again it would be different everytime.
Have words got power?
Melissa: YES because certain words can change your emotions.
Nilufer: YES because if you make a promise you have to keep it.
Katie: Words don't have power because they cannot control you or someone.
Should every story have a happy ending?
Tilly: NO because it will be boring to read stories but for childrens stories it should be happy otherwise they will think that the world is a sad place.
Is the hole in a donut part of a donut?
I would love to read your opinions please leave your comments below!
Many thanks,
Mrs Chetty
