P6-7 have had a super busy term learning all about the Scottish Government and Elections. In the last week of term, our Social Studies topic culminated in our very own whole school election for House Captains.<\/p>\n

Pupils have worked hard throughout the term to create their own political parties. They have spoken to groups of constituents in the school to help write meaningful and realistic pledges, created manifesto leaflets with catchy slogans, designed rosettes, and wrote and delivered persuasive speeches at assembly.<\/p>\n

On Thursday afternoon the whole school attended our ‘polling station’ where they were each given a voting slip. Once voting was over, independent pupils opened the ballot box and counted the votes, and the results are in!!<\/p>\n

The House Captain elected for Corsewall is Sophie Wilson, with Ellie Miller as Vice-Captain.<\/p>\n

The House Captain elected for Loch Connell is Katie Butler, with Iona Wallace as Vice-Captain.<\/p>\n

Well done to all the pupils involved \u2013 what a great way to end a very busy term!<\/p>\n
