Philosophy!
Excitingly, Swift class have had their first Philosophy lesson with Alfie from Bristol University. We will be having Philosophy lessons every Wednesday afternoons.
Well what is Philosophy? So that we could begin to understand what Philosophy is, we asked Alfie some questions. Next, he gave us a set of questions; in groups we collaborated to sort them into piles. Questions which we thought were not Philosophical (they had an answer) and questions which we thought were Philosophical.
After a lot of discussion and debating, these were some examples we agreed were Philosophical:
If a tree fell down in a forest and made a sound, would there be a sound if no one was there to hear it?
Do we dream only in our sleep?
Why can’t a stick be a sword?
