All resources (including starters) included, including a link to the abridged and original text online. Through debate, comprehension and smaller written tasks, this frameworks a strong written outcome- great for y5-6. Assessed several times in some 'outstanding' lessons, this was the most successful series of lessons I've made in a long time, and the results were some fantastic written stories at the end!

Great entry point philosophy lesson for children, needing only post-it notes and partners. Easily 40 minutes-1 hour's worth of discussion!

Fantastic resource which gives the children a bit of theory before opening the floor to philosophical questions for debate. A fantastic time filler or, to be fully explored, a full lesson. Enjoy!

Using theoretical ideas about free will and determinism, the children get to discuss the big stuff here, applying the free will/determinism concept to their own lives. A great fun lesson which the upper KS2 kids loved!

Focusing on self-improvement related to PSHE, this lesson was a big hit among the children in year 6. It draws upon a philosophical story called the Devil’s Gambit, relating to addiction, which I’ve adapted into a tale about bad habits. Note on the resources are in the Powerpoint presentation .

I’ve included a range of subjects to start the day, combining curricular objectives with holistic life skills. I use these regularly with my class and they love it!
