We have had a fantastic time  in P6 so far and have all settled in well. We have been participating in lots of fun learning activities and have learned some new skills along the way.

A real highlight for us was working in our political parties that we formed ourselves, we chose our name, logo, slogan and promises to display on our manifests, We were able to record and edit our own political party campaign videos. We worked together to present these in our groups to P6A who were then able to vote at the polling station for the political party that impressed them the most. The Blue party won this election , All of the children worked extremely hard and showed what confident individuals they are to present in front of peers from another class. We really felt like successful learners when all of our hard work was showcased on displays outside our classroom. The policies that we selected were based on making Newton Mearnsand/ or Scotland a better place to live.

The blue parties focus was to help the environment by cutting down on plastic waste , this shows what responsible citizens we are.  We are looking forward to being effective contributors in our next topic on Australia. We voted as a class on this continent and we hope to find it as enjoyable and engaging as the Scottish democracy topic.

That’s all from us for now check in soon for more updates on what we are learning in P6B.
