Oracy - Children should not be allowed junk food. Do you agree or disagree?

As part of our topic work, the children have been thinking about the Eatwell Plate. They can recognise the 5 main food groups and understand that we should eat sweet/greasy foods as treats. 

Today, we raised a question: 

"Children should not be allowed junk food. Do you agree or disagree?" 

The children worked well in pairs to formulate their ideas. They came up with some fantastic discussion points as to why they agree and disagree, based on health, choice, cost and how it makes us feel. 

We concluded the lesson with a whole class discussion where we built on each other's ideas and challenged respectfully. Great work Skylarks!
