    Against:We should not eat chocolate because it can cause cavieties and if you think about it if you look at the ingredients there is something called palm oil and palm oil is cheap because big company’s use because it taste good but then your are killing orangutans habbitat so you are basically damaging the planet.
    Another reasons why chocolate is bad
    Chocolate contains a lot of sugar so you will always gain a lot weight and if you eat too much chocolate and you don’t burn it of you will become fat also during you child life you could have health problem so you should have a portion of chocolate.

    I think that we should have chocolate snacks because we have a lot of revision such as maths, reading and spag. We can reduce palm oil by using fair trade products.

      Yes but how will chocolate help?

    I think the people in year 6 pupils should be allowed to eat healthy snacks during the SATS because we had been working so hard for the SATS to pass everything such as spag , maths and reading.

    In my opinion, we should be able to eat chocolate during revison practice because it helps keep us more focused and gives us a short energy burst this will be very useful during SATS because it will cause less stress which means that we can have better results.

    I think that year six pupils should be allowed to have chocolate during their SATs revision because it can make destress bot will have to eat a moderate amount.

      Not quite understanding your point, does chocolate cause the stress or ease stress?

    I think that we shouldn’t have chocolate because in the chocolate has sugar that will give us a sugar rush and we will be extremely hype,and will be bad for our concentration and that will effect are learning(and will give is low scores on our sats.)Teachers say it is so called negative and has so many calories. In white chocolate a piece of chocolate contains 27.28g of fat and could cause heart disease,cancer and obiesity. And has palm oil in so that means cutting down trees and then killing orangutans habitats and other poor innocent animals.

    I believe that we should have chocolate during our revision,as it will help us a lot. It will give us lots of energy.I know there is a lot of calories in chocolate,but it will get rid of stress.We are asking for tasty treats in a moderate amount! Energy,endorphins and vitamin E-these are all the things we should be gaining.

    1. Head Teacher

      OK- what do you consider to be a moderate amount?
