Should King Edward I rule Scotland or should they have their own King? We had a debate on this interesting topic last week.
We split into 2 teams – for Scotland and for England.
We had to research our debate so that we were able to argue with accurate information. Here’s a video to show how hard we worked!
Everyone came up with really great arguments! Here are some comments below!
For English Rule
“King Edward rules a bigger country so he has plenty practise!”
“King Edward manages more people so he could rule Scotland.”
“It makes sense to have an experienced King.”
For Scottish Rule
“Scotland is a separate country and deserves its own King.”
“King Edward chose John Balliol and we do not think this was the best person for the job.”
“King Edward is already fighting with France, will he not try to fight with us as well?”

I wish my primary school had been so full of debate when I was young. I just stumbled on your blog while surfing and wanted to say that you seem to have a really lively interesting primary school. Congrats.
