Election Week in Primary 6.

A short week but a busy week in Primary 6 as we completed the final stages of our topic on the government. We finalised our manifestos through some internet research to choose our top three priorities for the future of Scotland. We then prepared our debates and took turns sharing our thoughts under the guidance of our presiding officer who ensured everyone was respectful and did not go over time in their debate.  After the debates everyone in class had the chance to put their vote in the ballot box and the presiding officer counted the votes. With 30% of the votes our new First Minister was from the Conservative party.

We had our second group of children sharing their personal presentations on a topic of their own choice. This week we heard about Concorde, Dolly the Sheep, Marine Animals, Art and the movie Tangled. It was lovely to hear that the Concorde presentation inspired another member of the class to make a visit to the Museum of Flight this weekend.

This week pupils took over the role of leading the Number Talks and encouraging their friends to participate. It is not as easy as it looks!
