This week, Primary 5 put on their political hats and got debating!
We had recently been assigned to political parties (SNP, Labour, Liberal Democrat, Conservative and Green), chosen our party roles (Education, Employment, Health, Trade and Housing) and written our party manifestos. Next, it was time to debate (in role) in our version of the debating chamber at Holyrood!
It was tough work, especially with Miss Polly McIver as the Presiding Officer, but each party debated so well!. They were able to answer key questions in role, give reasons to support answers and say if they agreed/disagreed with another party member. Miss McLaughlin hasn’t had so much fun in years!
Have a look at our fantastic political parties and manifestos below.
Next week, it’s campaign and election time! Check in with us to see how we get on.
Until next time…
Primary 5 & Miss M/Polly McIver 🙂
