🗳️ Learning about Democracy in KS1 🗳️

The Year 2 children have been learning all about democracy, voting and fairness. We talked about how everyone can have different opinions and why it’s important to listen to and respect others.

We were also lucky to welcome members of our School Pupil Council, who explained how they were elected, what their role involves, and how they help make decisions for our school.

A great example of learning about British Values in action! ⭐️
