This week P6 have rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into Politics. We had a visit from the Scottish Parliament’s Education Department who ran a workshop for us and St. Clare’s P6.

They gave us lots of information about the Parliament and why politics is so important. We then got to answer questions on our interactive keypads and at the end we found out that Hadi got the most questions correct in the quickest time, well done Hadi!

We then got to create our own political parties and came up with our manifesto which we presented to the class. After, the party leaders gave their speech we all voted on the ballot paper for our favourite party. The votes were counted and the winner announced.

Everyone had a really enjoyable day, learning more about politics and also developing our group work and presentation skills. Who knows, one of us may be a future First Minister!
