After a P4C session, I asked a Year 1 group what they thought about doing philosophy. Here’s what some of them told me:
I like it! It’s my favourite thing to do because we have to say things about THINGS.
It makes me confused because it’s very hard thinking… But when we get confused we can get smarter!
I like talking about things, about questions.
P4C is fun – we can talk together.
We should keep doing P4C because then our brains will get massive! Then you will be smarter and be able to answer all the questions!
Pupils feel that P4C helps them with everything from relationships to confidence to staying calm
Pupils and teachers talk about how Philosophy for Children enhances teaching and learning
If you’re not yet doing P4C – this video will convince you. If you are, it will convince you to do more.
