This week, Room 12 will be holding a mock election for a class prime minister.
Today students were allowed to form their own "parties" and had to find a way to choose the leader of their party.
They will also be campaigning on some ideas to try and get their classmates to vote for them. There were many interesting and good ideas coming from the groups. There will be speech writing, a mock debate and some more interesting activities.
This is very topical learning, and will hopefully help the students gain some understanding of how the government is structured, and also the tough choices that adults have to make when deciding who to vote for.
go Ferns!
