Our local MP Kirsten Oswald, who represents East Renfrewshire Council, visited our class  on Wednesday the 23rd of September.

First we wrote a formal letter to  Mrs Oswald inviting her to visit the class. We used persuasive  and formal language  within our letters.

Next we created open ended questions to ask Mrs Oswald to  help us learn  more information about her role as an MP.

Mrs Oswald  informed us about the history of the Scottish Parliament and told us about the election process. We then asked Mrs Oswald  our questions  whilst we took notes.

Using our notes  and the key information we created a 3 paragraph personal profile.

We  will be able to apply these skills in our future working life.

Throughout the visit we ensured that we showed Mrs Oswald respect and  that we are responsible for our learning.
