Debating in Year 6

This week, Year 6 have been compiling evidence to support their argument on: the exploitation of those with abnormalities in freak shows. The argument is inspired by the life of a young boy from the story ‘The Little Freak’, which highlights the discrimination and unfair treatment forced upon those with disabilities in circuses during the 19th Century.

Children constructed their arguments, before going head-to-head in a debate, expressing their views and opinions to the audience and speaker.
