Primary Debating

16/11/2013

 
Picture
6th Class took part in a regional debating competition.
There were many debates in the classroom and finally a group of six children were chosen to represent us. 

Our team was Aoife Farrell, Caithlin Simpson, Kyle Dreeling, Tiffanie Fitzgerald, Eddie Gittens and Zoe Fenlon.
Their first debate was against Paulstown where they were opposing the motion "Homework is a waste of time".
It was an excellent debate with the whole class attending it in Paulstown school. Both teams were excellent and the adjudicators had a difficult job making their decision.  Paulstown won in the end.
Well done to all involved and we wish Paulstown success.
