Year 5 celebrated UK Parliament Week last Friday by diving into the world of democracy and governance. After watching informative videos detailing the workings of Parliament, students demonstrated their understanding by creating fantastic acrostic poems spelling out 'P-A-R-L-I-A-M-E-N-T'. Putting their learning into immediate action, the class held important votes for their new school house team names and selected classroom activities. Crucially, they actively practised the art of persuasion during these debates, linking directly to the persuasive writing skills they are currently mastering in their English lessons.
