This morning in class we talked about an idea to trial a new bell time table. The idea is that we start school, have a brain food break, have another session and then it would be morning tea time. We would come back from morning tea, have a session and then another one until 1pm lunch would be from 1-2pm and then after lunch we would come back for a very quick session to conclude the day. Here are the pros and cons we identified together as a class.
PROS
You get breaks between every two events
Not long after lunch till home time
We can give our hands a rest
We get to eat more
Makes learning times shorter
More concentration & Focus
It will make you healthier (Brain Food Break)
It's like the high school
The afternoon will not be as stressful
CONS
It will take a while to get use to
Some people might get hungry as morning tea & lunch is later
It's longer till morning tea and lunch
We won't have much work because we will be stopping all the time
Canteen will come later & food will be in the pie warmer longer (might burn)
I think it will be fun for the little kids as well as the big kids i gives you an extra break

It is great how both pros and cons have been looked at for this new proposal. There has obviously been a lot of thinking behind these pros and cons.
