Democracy in P6/7

This morning, P6/7 have been looking at how democracy works in Britain. Miss Rukin swapped her tennis class with Mr Atkinson and took the class outside to act out voting procedures and seat allocation in the House of Commons. The class then came inside and in cooperative learning groups reinforced their understanding of the following key words:

Constituency
Policies
Commons
Lords
Parliament
Economy
Immigrants
Vote
Ballot paper
MP
Prime Minister

Finally, the class examined the key policies of each party who have candidates standing in Inverclyde to prepare them for the school's Mock Election next week.

A very hard working morning - well done everyone!
