\n<\/strong>We are so proud of all of the fantastic learning on show at our second Pupil Parliament Sharing session this week. Our Primary 7 Leaders created a fun quiz for each committee to test their knowledge from across the term! All of our children were included in viewing each committee\u2019s learning at our showcase. We also asked all children to share their views on the next steps for our Citizenship, Eco, Wellbeing and Safety Committees. Our Pupil Parliament will recommence after the Spring holidays and we are excited to share our final missions with you then.<\/p>\n
