On Thursday we went to Pupil Parliament. We started off with a wonderful speech by David Bone then we did some fun ice breaker activities with the other children. First we sculpted each other into Olympic athletes then we had to be a piece of garden furniture with our whole group. Our next activity was making a day at the zoo with our body it was fun. After that we had an interesting talk all about parliament, elections and voting.We now all understand how this democratic process works in our country. Our next task was to be separated from everybody we knew and make a political party with a manifesto and a logo. Then we got a ten minute break and had a huge cookie and a drink. Then we got in our groups and got our speeches and slogans ready for the election. After a wonderful lunch of pizza and chips with sticky toffee pudding and vanilla ice cream; we had the election And school squad Utd won but Mrs Farraday was also elected as an MP! Then we looked at some real manifesto publications; and after looking at them all we were persuaded that we supported some parties more than others . Then the teachers thanked Rachel Dodgson and David Bone who do an amazing job at organizing and creating SLPP.
