P6.1 have been exploring democracy and, after learning about the Scortish Parliament, they set up their own class elections parties.

The groups worked together to great an engaging and persuasive campaign. They wrote speeches, created a logo and rosettes, and solidified their party aims. Some groups even made posters and videos!

On election day, Primary 5.2 joined us to hear our campaigns. Our polling station manager was in charge of managing and counting the vote. He had also designed the ballot papers.

We had a great day hearing from all of our parties who impressed with the global topics they chose to campaign about.

Our parties were:

• The Electrons
• The Political Pandas
• The Equalities
• World Fire

The results were very close.  Congratulations to The Equalities who won the overall vote. The impressed with their well rehearsed speech which was full of facts, quotes and rhetorical questions. Well done everyone!
