Rich or happy?

 Welcome back to Term 4, the last term of 2020! This term we are going to continue with our weekly blog provocation. I have really enjoyed reading your thoughts and I am impressed with the ways you are responding to other people's opinions.

This week's questions to get you thinking is, would you rather be rich or happy?

I look forward to seeing what you think and this term I am going to encourage you to take an opportunity to disagree with other's ideas. Don't forget you would only be disagreeing with a person ideas, not the person themselves. You may also find that sometimes you may only disagree with part of the person's point of view or can see apart from another point of view. Here are some sentence starters to help you out with your response.

Mask wearing

 Do you think it should be compulsory to wear a mask when you go to the supermarket?

From today, anyone over the age of 12 has to wear a mask on public transport regardless of what part of the country you live in. At the moment people are encouraged to wear a mask in public places like supermarkets. Do you think we should have to wear a mask in supermarkets or do you think it is safe enough without one?

Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...
