Yesterday Richard Arkless MP visited the school and we asked some questions about his job.
We asked him why he wanted to be an MP. He said the Scottish Referendum had inspired him and he loves his local area.
He told us an MP helps to make decisions to make places better.
Olivia and Jack gave him a tour of the school. I enjoyed meeting Richard Arkless MP.

On Thursday 4th September Richard Arkless MP came to answer lots of our questions. Abbi and Lee welcomed him to our school, and Olivia and I were his tour guides. Rowan took some photos.
Richard Arkless is an MP for us. He wanted to do this job because of the Scottish Referendum and also he loves Stranraer (and Portpatrick!). It was good to see him – I liked it.

On 4.9.15 Richard Arkless MP came to Portpatrick Primary. He is an MP and he said it is his job to help to make this a better place to live.
Finlay asked him some of the questions we had thought of like what different things does an MP do. He said he needs to work in London sometimes and he also goes around the region to see people.
Next we asked him about the best and worst things about his job. He said he likes to help people but he misses not seeing his family as much.
After that we all got a photo with him and then we took him a tour of inside and outside our school.
I enjoyed meeting an MP.
