Primary 7 at John Logie Baird Primary School made the long trip through to Edinburgh recently to visit the Scottish Parliament. After a visit to the Education Centre where we learned about the history of the parliament in Scotland and where asked to use our brains, we went on a tour of the building. We were lucky enough to be allowed into the Debating Chamber and learned many interesting facts about that room such as where the Presiding Officer sits and just how busy the reporters for the parliament are! Did you know they have to write down every word that is spoken inside the Debating Chamber?
After that we met with two MSPs – our constituency MSP, Jackie Baillie, and one of our list MSPs, Stuart MacMillan. We asked them lots of questions and we were delighted that they gave up so much of their time to listen to us. We learned a great deal on our trip and we are very grateful to the Scottish Parliament for organising such a great trip.
Hi P7. Sounds fantastic. Perhaps you could e-mail us some of your comments on what particularly interested you. Jackie Baillie, MSP is coming to Rosneath on the 7th of October when our Team Captain Election is taking place and has previously said she would love us to come and visit.
