A visit from parliament....

The School Council had a brilliant time yesterday as we welcomed an important visitor to Rushmere. Sky, who is a parliament outreach officer, visited us from London to deliver a campaign for change workshop.

These are some of the things we discussed: - 

• Understanding how young people can have a voice
• Exploring how to campaign in the UK
• Identifying the benefits and weaknesses of different campaign methods
• Planing our own campaign around a current issue

Excellent enthusiasm was shown by the whole group as we started to think about how we could make a change to areas of the school. 

Sky then delivered an assembly to KS2 all about parliament where we were shown - 

• The three parts of Parliament
• Why we have Parliament 
• Who our MP is

A great morning enjoyed by all! Here are some photos attached so you can see it all in action!
