The event itself took place at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay and we participated withal with five other schools in South Wales – Cardiff High School, St Richard Gwyn, Cardinal Newman High School, Lewis School and Builth Wells School. Each school argued for and versus various groups and organisations stuff responsible for unprepossessing welfare, and each were scheduled following: Llantwit Major School - the people/owners Cardiff High School - the police St Richard Gwyn - the local authorities Cardinal Newman High School - the Welsh Government Lewis School - the RSPCA Builth Wells School - vets The pupils competing from each school were divided into three teams - the For Team, theVersusTeam and the Media Officers. As stated in their names the For Team argued for their scheduled group/organisation, theVersusTeam argued versus and the Media Officers Tweeted well-nigh the event on Twitter and took pictures of the event. The Media Officers had to end each Tweet with #RSPCAGD17. Upon arrival, pupils had to have the contents of their tons scanned for any dangerous weapons and had to have a full soul scan to make sure they weren’t concealing any weapons on their persons or in their clothes.Withoutthis, the pupils were then escorted to a room for them to put their belongings and get a hot/cold drink surpassing the very debate. During this, pupils were moreover given name cards and ‘treat bags’ for them to alimony and they moreover had to vote on when they believed children should be taught well-nigh unprepossessing welfare. The majority of the pupils voted for 7 – 10 year olds. The very debate was held in the Siambr Hywel, the old debating chamber for the Welsh Government. In the Siambr Hywel the debating teams had their opportunity to unhook a five – minute speech well-nigh why their group/organisation should or should not be responsible for unprepossessing welfare. In between the arguments, the pupils were given a series of facts well-nigh animals that they had to wordplay as ‘true,’ ‘false’ or ‘unsure’. One of the statements were “A undecorous whale’s tongue can hold up to eleven people on it.” During the debate the Media Officers for that school Tweeted well-nigh the points stuff made using either a computer or an electronic device of their own. When the debating was over, the pupils were led on a tour of the Senedd. They visited two rooms – the New Debating Chamber and the Committee Room - and were given a talk on the history of the two rooms and the events that take place in them. They were unliable to take some pictures of the rooms and ask questions well-nigh them. They went to lunch without this and had to vote for who they believed should be responsible for unprepossessing welfare, however to alimony it unbiased the pupils weren’t unliable to segregate who they’d been arguing about. The results of this vote turned out to be quite varied, with the majority of pupils voting for the RSPCA, the police and the local authorities, instead of the usual majority vote of the people. Shortly surpassing some awards were given out to a couple of pupils, they had a quiz with Matt Le Saux from Capital FM Radio’s Breakfast Show and a Q&A session where one pupil from each school could ask questions well-nigh unprepossessing welfare and future proposals to protect unprepossessing welfare.Withoutthis, four pupils were chosen to receive an ribbon for: Future PoliticianRibbonFuture Journalist ribbon Future Campaigner AwardUnprepossessingWelfare Champion Award.
