Today PR7A and Pr7B were invited to take part in  the Provost’s  Debate at East Renfrewshire Council Chambers. The motion being debated was-

This house believes that People Over 60 Should Continue to Receive Their Free Bus Entitlement. 

In our class Olivia proposed the motion with Paige, Aiden and Lewis along with some children in Pr7B forming the remainder of her team.

Lily was second to oppose the motion and she had Emily and Kirstie along with some children from Pr7B in her team.

We had a fantastic morning and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being allowed to have our debate in the Council Chambers.

Both teams made some extremely relevant, interesting points during what turned into a very lively debate. At the end of the debate the motion was carried by 23 votes to 9.

Primary 7 would like to say thankyou very much to Provost Jim Fletcher for ensuring that they had such a memorable experience.
