Recently, we had a special visitor from the Scottish Parliament. She came to teach us about the work of the Scottish Parliament, the role of MSP’s, voting and how it works.
We were put into six groups; Animal Welfare, IT, Music , Save the Earth, Sport and School which became our ‘Political Parties’. We held a mini Election. First we had to elect a Party Leader, then we had to decide what was important to us and finally we had to present our party promises to the class. We listened to what each party had to offer and voted on who we would like to win. After all the votes were counted, the Animal Welfare Party won the election.
It was an exciting day for all of us. We found out things we did not know or had never thought of!
Here are some pictures to show you how fun it was!
