Something to talk about ..

Learning to express themselves in front of an audience, articulately and confidently, is a skill that will stand our children in very good stead when they reach the time they are ready to lead a life beyond the Happy House.
So a debating club in school is a very good idea indeed and is certainly helping them to speak out. They are learning the importance of thinking about and preparing what they are to say and to put forward a balanced and supported argument to help them win their case.
The first debate was on the controversial motion "Girls are better than boys" with Daniella's team going head to head against Evans' team.
Musyoka had the role of chairing the debate and keeping order!
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for this one, but, sadly, whilst I've been told the subject, I haven't been given the result. 
I have no doubt it will have been a very lively session and lots of fun.
