It was a pleasure to revisit Hempstalls Primary as part of Parliament Week. I previously helped plant a tree there as part of the late Queen’s Canopy in April.
As some of you may know from my previous posts, UK Parliament Week is an annual event that educates people about what Parliament is, what it does, and people can get involved. Last year over 1.1 million people took part from every nation and region of the UK, and from countries all over the world.
Years 3-6 first watched a video about Parliamentary democracy, then the children asked me several interesting and challenging questions which belied their age, about both local and national issues.
Thank you to everyone involved in organising the event, particularly Ms Mott, and to all the children for their enthusiasm!
