On our Parliament day we learnt about the way in which our government works. We learnt about how members of Parliament belong to different political parties and how they have to campaign to be elected. We made our own political parties and wrote our own manifestos.

These included campaigns for:

more technology

more choice in learning

outdoor learning

extended playtimes

child centred learning

the chance to learn different life skills

We voted for the ideas we liked best.

We also learnt about how debates are carried out in the House of Commons and how parliamentary bills have to be passed by her majesty the Queen.
