Philosophy

I am so lucky to work with gorgeous year 2 and 3 children on a Friday afternoon. We get to discuss interesting ideas and so far have talked about friendship and this week started talking about existence. What fabulous ideas they have. We have been working on justifying our ideas.

We started the session reading 'The Bunyip of Berkeley Creek' and then talked about other creatures that we knew about.
Other questions we touched on included:
How do we know if something exists?
Why do we say things don't exist?
What things might exist in our heads?

We then thought about different things and discussed if they existed or not or if we just didn't know.
