School Council Elections!
Yesterday was a very exciting day- it was Election Day for the School Councillors!
Candidates started the day by presenting their manifesto to their class and then every child completed a ballot paper to vote for their chosen representative. The voting booths had been set up in the hall and children placed their ballot paper in the ballot box. After the votes had been counted, an assembly was held to reveal the results.
The children learnt about the key British Value, democracy, what it means and if it is a good thing.
"I know Democracy is when people get to vote for the Prime Minister but some people don't vote. It's a celebration to choose who is in charge.
"It means people choose who they want in charge."
"Democracy is a good thing because if one person just chose the leader then it's not fair because other people might want someone else and not agree."
