Should children be made to wear school uniform?

Ever since they were introduced in Victorian times, school uniforms have been an argumentative subject. Some people like them and believe they prevent problems being caused, while others would prefer to choose their own clothing. This leads to the question, should children be made to wear school uniform?

Supporters of school uniform argue that fashionable clothes, and arguing about whose clothes are nicer, can distract children from their schoolwork. In addition, they say that school uniform makes everyone look the same, whereas if you let children wear their own clothes it would be obvious whose parents had lots of money and whose did not. The poorer children might get bullied, they claim. Furthermore, the more fashion-conscious children might not want to risk getting their own clothes dirty or torn, so they might not want to do activities such as art. Finally, school uniform makes life easier for busy parents because they know exactly what their child is going to wear each day, and they know they’re not going to get into any argument about whether a certain garment is suitable to wear to school!

On the other hand, critics of school uniform argue that making children wear exactly the same clothes stifles their individuality and creativity. In some countries, like France and America, school uniform is almost unheard of. Most adults do not have to wear a uniform to work and would be horrified if their bosses suggested it, so why should children have to wear one to school? Furthermore, some schools insist that uniforms are bought from a certain shop, and this can be expensive. Poorer children would have to buy their uniforms second-hand which could embarrass them. Moreover, the style of school uniform does not suit everyone, therefore some argue that children may be more self-confident and comfortable in their own clothes.

In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages about wearing uniform and wearing ordinary clothes to school. They may stop arguments in the playground and they probably make life easier for busy parents, but to some this isn’t a good enough reason to specify what children must wear on their own bodies.

Task 2- To develop ideas for discussionThink of points for both arguments

For (supports) Against

“Should Muggles be made aware of Witches and Wizards living among them?”

Muggles are people who have no knowledge of Hogwarts, Witches or Wizard

For (supports) Against- Muggles may feel more protected

against threats.

- Combine knowledge -> Magical advancements with Muggle technology.

- Work together to solve problems around the world.

- Magical creatures could breed with non-magical creatures and create new/more powerful species.

- More Muggles would marry Wizards, resulting in magic being passed down for further generations.

- Fairness; no secrets

- May need more protection from Dark Wizards.

- Everyone would want magical solutions to their problems.

- Magical creatures could cause extinction of non-magical creatures.

- More Muggles would marry Wizards, diluting the pure-blood lines.

- Already considered to be lower than wizards by some, could result in Muggles being mistreated even more by wizards (slaves/servants).

- Feared/persecuted as in Middle Ages

Here are some of my reasons!

Task 3-Introduction:

- 5W’s- Background information about the discussion topic

- What the discussion question is

The 5W’s for our discussion topic could be…

Who has an opinion on the subject? would it affect?

What is the discussion question? Where do witches and wizards live?When would it be useful/unuseful to

know about them?Why do people have different opinions?

LO- To write an introduction

Looking questions

What 5 presents did Harry receive? Which

was very rare?

Clue question

Why wasn’t Harry expecting any presents?

Thinking question

How do you think Harry felt on Christmas day? Is

it the same of different to what you experience?

On Christmas Eve, Harry went to bed looking forward to the next day for the food and the fun, but not expecting any presents at all. When he woke early in the morning, however, the first thing he saw was a small pile of packages at the foot of his bed."Merry Christmas," said Ron sleepily as Harry scrambled out of bed and pulled on his bathrobe."You, too," said Harry. "Will you look at this? I've got some presents!""What did you expect, turnips?" said Ron, turning to his own pile, which was a lot bigger than Harry's. Harry picked up the top parcel. It was wrapped in thick brown paper and scrawled across it was To Harry, from Hagrid. Inside was a roughly cut wooden flute. Hagrid had obviously whittled it himself. Harry blew it -- it sounded a bit like an owl. A second, very small parcel contained a note.We received your message and enclose your Christmas present. From Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. Taped to the note was a fifty-pence piece."That's friendly," said Harry. Ron was fascinated by the fifty pence."Weird!" he said, "What a shape! This is money ?“ "You can keep it," said Harry, laughing at how pleased Ron was. "Hagrid and my aunt and uncle -- so who sent these?“

"I think I know who that one's from," said Ron, turning a bit pink and pointing to a very lumpy parcel. "My mom. I told her you didn't expect any presents and -- oh, no," he groaned, "she's made you a Weasley sweater.“Harry had torn open the parcel to find a thick, hand-knitted sweater in emerald green and a large box of homemade fudge."Every year she makes us a sweater," said Ron, unwrapping his own, "and mine's always maroon.""That's really nice of her," said Harry, trying the fudge, which was very tasty.His next present also contained candy -- a large box of Chocolate Frogs from Hermione.This only left one parcel. Harry picked it up and felt it. It was very light. He unwrapped it.Something fluid and silvery gray went slithering to the floor where it lay in gleaming folds. Ron gasped."I've heard of those," he said in a hushed voice, dropping the box of Every Flavor Beans he'd gotten from Hermione. "If that's what I think it is -- they're really rare, and really valuable.“ “What is it?"Harry picked the shining, silvery cloth off the floor. It was strange to the touch, like water woven into material."It's an invisibility cloak," said Ron, a look of awe on his face. "I'm sure it is -- try it on."

LO- To understand Viking

raids

Where do you think the

Vikings raided first?

Viking Raids

The first Viking raid recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was around AD787. It was the start of a fierce struggle between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings. The Vikings were pagans, not Christians like most people living in Britain at the time. They did not think twice about raiding a monastery. Christian monasteries in Britain were easy targets for the Vikings. The monks had no weapons and the buildings were filled with valuable treasures, like gold, jewels and books. There was food, drink, cattle, clothes and tools too – all very tempting to a Viking raider.

How can we find out how Viking raids

happened?

Viking Raid on Lindisfarne (793 AD)

On the 6th of June 793 AD, 'Northmen' (as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle

calls them) attacked the Christian monastery at Lindisfarne in

Northumbria. The monastery was on a small island off the coast called

Holy Island, making it an easy target for the Viking longships.

Northumbria was an English kingdom, and its unprotected monasteries

were famous for expensive books, art and treasures. It was this attack

that made people realise how dangerous the Vikings were.

The first few months of the year 793 AD were worrying times. Anglo-

Saxon writers in north England wrote about how ‘immense whirlwinds,

flashes of lightning and fiery dragons were seen flying in the air’. They

thought this weather was a sign of danger to come.

This Viking raid on Holy Island, just off the Northumbrian coast, was

not the first in England. But the raid on Lindisfarne monastery was

different because it attacked ‘the very place where the Christian

religion began in our nation’. It was where Saint Cuthbert had been

bishop, and where his body was buried in 687 AD.

Alcuin, an Anglo-Saxon man in Northumbria, wrote that:

Alcuin calls the Vikings pagans because they were not Christian like

the Anglo-Saxons were. The Vikings believed in many different gods

who had different purposes, e.g. Thor was the god of war. The Vikings

therefore had no respect for the Christian monastery or its monks.

The Vikings travelled to England on wooden longships. These were

fast, streamlined boats that were powered by paddles. They were

light enough to be carried over land, and could turn direction quickly.

They burned buildings, stole treasures, murdered monks, and terrified

everyone. Some Anglo-Saxon Christian leaders said God had sent the

Vikings, to punish people in England for their sins. Alcuin was

particularly worried about why God had allowed such a holy place to be

attacked: “Is this the outcome of the sins of those who live

there?” he asked, wondering if the monks had disobeyed God.

“The church of St Cuthbert is spattered with the blood of

the priests of God, stripped of all its treasures, and left

unprotected from these plundering pagans.”

The monastery at Lindisfarne

Monk Simeon, an Anglo-Saxon monk in Durham, wrote that:

After raiding the monastery, the ships sailed home with their new

treasures and slaves. The parts of the monastery that were made of

wood were burned down before they left.

The Vikings did not send many ships on their first raids. They made

surprise attacks on unprotected places, like Lindisfarne. They knew

they would not have to fight a big Anglo-Saxon army. Saxon kings were

too busy fighting each another to join forces against the Vikings. There

was no English navy to guard the coasts, so it was easy for Vikings to

land on a beach or sail up a river.

The Vikings fought using long swords and axes. Vikings did not wear

much armour, though some wore chain mail coats, and most relied on a

round wooden shield for protection. On their heads, they wore helmets

made of leather or iron. The monks had no weapons and no warriors of

their own to protect them against the Viking raiders.

“On the sixth of June, they reached the church of

Lindisfarne, where they miserably ravaged and pillaged

everything; they trod the holy things under their polluted

feet and plundered all the treasures of the church. Some of

the monks they killed, some they carried off in chains, most

of them they stripped naked, insulted, and cast out of the

doors, and some they even drowned in the sea.”

Can you remember the

different areas that

Britain was divided

into?

LO- To understand how Britain was divided

The kings of Anglo-Saxon Britain each ruled their own kingdom and the people in it. They also controlled their own army. Kings constantly fought to control other kingdoms and defend their land. They were known as warrior-kings.When the Anglo-Saxons first settled in Britain there were seven kingdoms. However, by AD 878 there was only one kingdom left; Wessex, ruled by King Alfred the Great. The other kingdoms had been overrun by the Vikings who established their own kingdoms.

Kings Vs. VikingsSome of the Anglo-Saxon Kings are well known for the resistance they put up against the Vikings. They fought hard to keep control of their land and tried to push the Vikings out.One of the best known Anglo-Saxon kings is King Alfred the Great. He is the only British monarch to have the title ‘great’ in his name.

King Alfred the GreatSo, what made King Alfred so great?

King Alfred is credited with being the first Anglo-Saxon king to defeat the Vikings in battle and buy the people of Britain some peace from them.

• Alfred became king in AD 871. He reigned until his death in AD 899.

• In AD 878 the Vikings invaded Wessex and forced King Alfred into hiding. However, Alfred was not prepared to give up.

• Later in AD 878, King Alfred and his small band of followers defeated the Vikings at the Battle of Edington. The Battle of Edington was reported as a fierce and bloody event and King Alfred was reported to charge into battle like a wild boar. King Alfred and his men drove back the attacking Vikings who surrendered. It is said that the Viking leader of this battle, King Guthrum, immediately converted to Christianity and was baptised by King Alfred himself.

DanelawKing Alfred knew that although he had been able to stop the Vikings from taking over in Wessex, he would never be able to control them in the rest of England.

In AD 886, he made a deal with King Guthrum and established a treaty which gave the Vikings control over Northern and Eastern England, an area which later became known as Danelaw.

King Alfred got to keep control over Wessex and he also got to rule over West Mercia and Kent.

This arrangement helped to establish more peaceful relationships between the English and the Vikings.

King AthelstanAt the Battle of Brunanburh in AD 937 Athelstan fought with his Viking and Welsh allies to stop an invasion by the Scottish king.

Athelstan is know for forming good relationships with leaders from other countries. He married his four sisters to important rulers abroad which helped strengthen Britain’s position overseas. He also had strong links with religious leaders and he founded many churches.
