P4C enquiry circle
One of the best parts of my work is listening to what pupils think about doing philosophy.
I find it fascinating how many different things these children (age 8-11) commented on – from relationships to calm to confidence to thinking:
We talk about stuff that is important and interesting.
I think it's fun because we sit in a circle and get different partners each time. You learn stuff which helps you with friendships.
It’s calm and peaceful.
It boosts some people's confidence. Everyone gets a chance to talk.
It's very educational because it helps with discussion. We have sentence starter cards – they help us know what to say. It helps us think.
