Learners from Year 3 at Woodlands Academy have been working hard to develop their speaking and listening skills through an engaging and thought-provoking history lesson.
As part of their learning, pupils took part in a lively debate exploring whether King James I should or should not have become King of England in 1603.
The debate encouraged children to examine historical evidence, listen carefully to different viewpoints, and confidently explain their own ideas.
By questioning the past, sharing opinions, and justifying their reasoning, learners are beginning to think like real historians while strengthening key communication skills.
Year 3 teacher Jasmin Tsun said: “The children showed fantastic enthusiasm and confidence during the debate.
“They listened respectfully to one another, used evidence to support their ideas, and demonstrated real curiosity about history. It was wonderful to see them thinking critically and expressing their views so clearly.”
