Today in year 4 we held a mock General Election. The class was spilt into 5 groups to represent each of the major political parties. Each group looked at their party's manifesto, selected the parts that were important to them and presented these to the rest of the class. The children then completed their ballot papers and voted by putting them onto the ballot box. There was a very tense wait as the votes were then counted and verified. The winners by a very small margin were the Green party led by Elsie.
