Primary 7P                           -06.09.19

Pupils of Primary 7P (and Mrs Patterson) have had a very busy and hard-working start to our year. Our term began learning all about Democracy and how it works. We then went on to hold our own democratic elections to select our Pupil Leadership team and House Captains. We learned about how to write a persuasive and emotive election speech and about how campaigns are run to persuade the electorate. There were lots of creative ideas used! Mr Swift made us great polling booths so our elections were as realistic as possible.

We also produced some fabulous art work, using pencil, water-colour and oil pastels to show how hands are used to convey lots of messages like peace, love, victory, strength and Democracy. We were proud of our finished art and surprised ourselves at how well they turned out. See what you think below.

Our Assembly was also to-day and we worked extremely hard writing our script to highlight how we can all make a difference to our world with inspirational stories and quotes in there to inspire us all to be the best we can be.

Can we make a difference?         Yes we can!

 

Lewis    We learned about democracy and how voting works and Mr swift set up a real polling station for house captain and leader ship vote. I am happy because I got picked for house captain.
