Last week, we were very lucky to have @MP4Stratford visit to talk to us about her role as an MP and her work in Parliament. Manuela then led a whole school assembly as an introduction to UK Parliament Week @UKParlEducation @CrocClass @cormorantsclass @Seahorses_Class @WillowsCE

Our fantastic Debating Society children are teaming up with our Pupil Parliament MPs to take part in this exciting opportunity to put their questions to our local MP @nadhimzahawi @UKParlEducation

[Seahorses Class @Seahorses_Class]

Our first Pupil Parliament meeting of the year was a very exciting one as we prepare for our visit from our local MP @nadhimzahawi tomorrow. So proud of these children and how caring, polite & engaged they were. We’ve prepared some great questions for Mr Zahawi @UKParlEducation

[Debating Society @DebateClub7]

Today we spoke about the role of government ministers. Particularly our local MP @nadhimzahawi and his role as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in preparation for his visit to our school this Friday. @cormorantsclass @Seahorses_Class @CrocClass @Foxes_Class @WillowsCE
