What an exciting couple of weeks in P5…not only has there been a National Election – P5 have been learning through a truely interactive approach about the Why and How elections happen.

Learning Outcomes:

  • I can help organise the ballot process

  1. I have enjoyed following your learning during your campaign trail. As I said on Friday at our assembly I was impressed that the items on your manifestos considered whole school issues which affected pupils and all staff. Congratulations to all the policitical parties! 🙂
