Sticky Questions for April!
We’re excited to reintroduce Sticky Questions—thought-provoking prompts designed to spark meaningful conversations and develop children’s oracy skills. Each year group will be exploring a different question over the course of the month, encouraging pupils to think deeply, share ideas, and articulate their thoughts clearly. We’d love for you to continue these discussions at home with your child, helping them build confidence in expressing themselves and engaging in dialogue. Look out for this month’s question and enjoy the conversations it inspires!
FS: If you were an animal would it be more fun to live on the riverbank or in the river itself?
Year 1: If you could be an expert in anything what would it be?
Year 2: Can animals be sorry?
Year 3: What duties do you have to your friends?
Year 4: If you have a cat and know everything you can learn about cats, do you know what it’s like to be a cat?
Year 5: Should the government put extra taxes on foods that are bad for us?
Year 6: If we treat animals differently to us, are we being ‘speciesism’?
