MSP visit

In September an MSP came to visit P6 and told us all about the Scottish Parliament, how laws are passed and how important it is to vote. She gave us a piece of paper with one side  saying “Scottish” and the other side saying “Great Britain” and we had to choose who created the laws.  We then created political parties and we had to share our manifesto with the class.  Afterwards we had to vote for the party we wanted to be elected.
