Philosophy – 6 McLaren

Philosophy is about digging deep to find the true answer about a certain topic.

This term in Philosophy, we have been looking at different films, and using a question quadrant to write questions about the clip. The question topics include:

Open and close Textual questions (which are questions related to the text) and Open and close Intellectual questions (which are questions relating to the real world, but based on concepts from the film)  We also got into groups to respectfully discuss and exchange questions and opinions about a topic/question.

We are learning about philosophical dialogue and the different theories and this is getting up prepared for different situations in life.

Last week in philosophy the whole of Year 6 had a lot of fun breaking into groups and sharing all our questions and ideas. We got to think creatively and see different perspectives on topics which was the best thing about working in a group. My group discussed friendship and thought of many good questions like…

Does everyone experience friendship?

Is it our responsibility to be a friend to the people who haven’t experienced friendship?

How does friendship start?

Overall it was great to discover a new branch of philosophy and have great philosophical dialogue.
