House Captains

This term P7B & P7J have been studying democracy as our topic. We have been learning about voting systems, voting behaviour, leadership systems and much more.

To practise what we have been learning, we held an election for our house captains. We decided to use the First Past The Post voting system and we prepared by writing persuasive speeches and posters/rosettes. We invited all of the pupils from each of the different houses to the upper area and we divided across four classrooms. We had lots of great candidates but our winners were…

Today we ended our topic with a visit from our local MSP, Graeme Dey. We prepared around 40 higher order questions to ask him and learned a huge amount about his work and what’s going on in the Scottish Parliament right now.

On Friday 2nd September, P7B and P7J went to the Dundee Flower and Food Festival and it was an amazing day! We got to try lots of tasters and gathered lots of freebies. We even saw a miniature Oor Wullie. Have you taken part in the Oor Wullie Bucket Trail?
