Year 5 enjoyed learning about politics
in our country, extending our knowledge of Britain`s current political parties
and finding out how the House of Commons operates.
We looked at how to debate effectively
and held our own debate on the issue of `Should we wear our own clothes to
school, rather than school uniform?` Some of our arguments were so persuasive
that many children had changed their viewpoint by the end of the debate!
We created our own political parties and designed logos and slogans to represent
them. We wrote manifestos based on issues that we had chosen and then held a
Hustings followed by an election in which we all voted for the party we felt would
be the most effective.
We all learned a lot
about politics and demonstrated many important skills such as developing
resilience and working well in a team.
Hope that everyone had a great time and they enjoyed themselves
