Today, in Year 2 we have been learning about the General Election which is taking place today. We discussed the reasons for having a General Election, how and where people vote and the different parties involved. The children discussed what they thought was important for out country. They used their ideas to write their own manifestos, if they were a Prime Minister. Some of the ideas included: reducing pollution and more money for our schools. The children had a good grasp of explaining why they thought these topics were important.
