Programme

Does a fly have feelings? Who is in charge of the universe? In Philosophy, there doesn't have to be one answer straight away. Thinking together brings new questions and perspectives.

Asking questions

The group explores questions worth thinking about for longer.
Sharing thoughts

Children share their ideas and listen to other possibilities.
Thinking in different ways

Games, drawings, drama, poems and interviews can support the discussion.

The teacher chooses topics and activities that suit the group.
