Year 5-Enterprise Day-A day in Politics-Thursday 21st May.


Year 5 enjoyed learning about politics in our country, extending our knowledge of Britain`s current political parties and finding out how the House of Commons operates.

We looked at how to debate effectively and held our own debate on the issue of `Should we wear our own clothes to school, rather than school uniform?` Some of our arguments were so persuasive that many children had changed their viewpoint by the end of the debate!

We created our own political parties and designed logos and slogans to represent them. We wrote manifestos based on issues that we had chosen and then held a Hustings followed by an election in which we all voted for the party we felt would be the most effective.


We all learned a lot about politics and demonstrated many important skills such as developing resilience and working well in a team.
