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.

Congratulations to the candidates who won!
What the children said:
Work
“We should work because I want to be a scientist and you need to be really clever”
“If you work now it will pay off in the future and you will get a better job”
“If you learn more you will be intelligent and get more A levels and so earn more money”
Play
“To play all afternoon is my dream come true”
“You learn whilst you play because you use your imagination”
“You learn when you play because you interact with other people”
Play and work
“We should play and work because we can get smart and still have a break”
“If you play and work it is fair”
