Lower School pupils from Abingdon and St Helen’s gathered for a Joint Dinner Debate last week. Abingdon proposed the motion “This house believes that there should be a three day weekend” and there followed plenty of excellent speeches and some insightful points from the floor – the motion was defeated. Following a dinner of lasagne and chocolate brownie, the pupils worked in mixed groups to prepare for a balloon debate, with each group choosing a figure from literature to tie in with World Book Day. After a very close vote, Snowy from the Tintin books was the somewhat unlikely victor!
