A sorting activity to improve debating skills. Children examine arguments about free school meals for all children, and sort them into categories of for and against. They then write a paragraph explaining their own point of view.

This resource could also be used to support children in holding a class debate, with the statements cut up and handed out to help stimulate discussion.

Suitable for Y3 and Y4.
