Deansbrook Infant School Elections

To help the children understand the process of an election we are having our very own Deansbrook Infant School Election. The children in Year 1 and 2 were given the choices for one hour on Friday afternoon. They could 'Play', 'Work' or a combination of 'Play and Work'. The children had to present their case and persuade their class mates to vote for them.

What did the children learn?

To understand how to argue and defend a point of view
To understand how they can influence decision making through a democratic process
To understand the voting process
To respect the different opinions of others
To understand and respect the democratic process
To understand they have a pupil voice and it is listen to
Our values- determination, honesty, respect, tolerance

What happened?

The children chose a candidate to represent “Play”, “Work” and “Play and work”
Each candidate gave their reasons why they should vote for their group and answered questions from the rest of the class
Children also recorded their opinions
