In this ongoing debate club, we will focus on scientific issues. Learners will learn how to organise, prepare, and deliver their ideas. Students will study how to actively persuade, inspire, inform, and engage an audience through the art of public speaking. Each week will focus on a different scientific topic and all learners will be supported to develop and share their ideas. 🔹 Week Beginning 3/2/2025 - Intelligence 🔹 Week Beginning 10/2/2025 - Types of Medicine 🔹 Week Beginning 17/2/2025 - Nutrition 🔹 Week Beginning 24/2/2025 - Fast Food 🔹 Week Beginning 3/3/2025 - Is it okay to keep animals in zoos? 🔹 Week Beginning 10/3/2025 - Does perfection exist? 🔹 Week Beginning 17/3/2025 - Can we survive without fruits and vegetables? 🔹 Week Beginning 24/3/2025 - Should age restrictions exist? 🔹 Week Beginning 31/3/2025 - Is it good to make friends online? 🔹 Week Beginning 7/4/2025 - Is it better to know everything or to know nothing? 🔹 Week Beginning 14/4/2025 - Studying Science 🔹 Week Beginning 21/4/2025 - Video Games 🔹 Week Beginning 28/4/2025 - Population 🔹 Week Beginning 5/5/2025 - Poverty and Health 🔹 Week Beginning 12/5/2025 - Obesity 🔹 Week Beginning 19/5/2025 - Hacking 🔹 Week Beginning 26/5/2025 - Global Warming 🔹 Week Beginning 2/6/2025 - Cloning 🔹 Week Beginning 9/6/2025 - Veganism 🔹 Week Beginning 16/6/2025 - Is College Essential? 🔹 Week Beginning 23/6/2025 - Should Kids Be Allowed to Have Cell Phones? 🔹 Week Beginning 30/6/2025 - Should Homework Be Banned in Elementary School? 🔹 Week Beginning 7/7/2025 - Is It Better to Be an Only Child or Have Siblings? 🔹 Week Beginning 14/7/2025 - Should School Uniforms Be Mandatory? 🔹 Week Beginning 21/7/2025 - Is It Important to Learn a Second Language? 🔹 Week Beginning 28/7/2025 - Should Children Be Allowed to Watch TV or Play Video Games Before Finishing Their Homework? 🔹 Week Beginning 4/8/2025 - Life in Space 🔹 Week Beginning 11/8/2025 - Getting Older 🔹 Week Beginning 18/8/2025 - Living in Cities Children are naturally curious and ask countless questions about anything and everything in the world around them. Children asking questions and having healthy discussions is necessary to satisfy a child's inquisitive brain. A debate is a general discussion about a specific topic with different parties expressing different opinions. In a discussion, the validity of the views expressed holds more importance than the speaker's charisma. From improving listening and speaking skills to building self-esteem, learning to the debate can have many benefits for your child. It also sharpens critical listening skills and the child's ability to interact with others confidently. The art of debate is a valuable skill that every child should develop. Debating teaches children to analyze, rationalize, put forward comprehensive arguments, and disagree politely. Moreover, it helps children improve their academic performance and scores as they learn to research, prioritize and write evidence-based arguments. Some debates require children to share their personal opinions, which requires little preparation when compared to other fact-based topics. Kids' debate topics can be simple, tough, or range from the ordinary to complex and intense. Debates instill a sense of perspective and also help to build self-esteem. It's a matter of pride for children to be asked for their opinion and show them that their thoughts and voices matter. We look forward to being part of your learning journey!
