If you have never tried philosophy before these lessons are a good starting point! The children really enjoy these discussions/debates! Based on ideas from Philosophy 4 children everything is explained in the lesson plans. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! The children sit in a circle and take turns to discuss what they think the answer to the question is-saying whether they agree or disagree with another child. They improve their listening, speaking and reasoning skills and learn that there is not always one right answer to a question.

This looks really useful and simple to follow yet rich in ideas. I like that there are learning objectives and success criteria. Thank you!
I adapted Lesson 4 for an Easter philosophy session with my Y3/4 class based on the poster 'Last Supper' by Leonardo Da Vinci. If I had a Year 5 or 6 class I would have used 'The Crucifixion' by Salvador Dali. Thanks for the plans - it is hard to get started, but these plans help immensely. Love the 'Thinking Books' idea too.
