Waller 2024 General Election!
We felt it important for the children here to experience and be part of the election fever that has swept the country. We took it seriously, We had ballot boxes, returning officers, lanyards, voting forms - the whole shebang! Each class became a ‘constituency’, with candidates from Y5 - representing the entire political spectrum - taking the campaign to the classrooms. The children were absolutely fascinated by the process and seemed to absorb an incredible amount of information over the week. From universal suffrage to proportional representation, there was a lot of learning covered over the week.
Following voting in every class from Year 1 - Year 6, we are delighted to announce that the following candidates are officially elected members of the (Edmund Waller) Parliament:
- Harry (Y5) - Labour
- Gabriel (Y5) - Conservative
- Osman (Y5) - Liberal Democrats
- Ian (Y5) - Conservative
- Aileen (Y5) - Green
- Nell (Y5) - Conservative
- Ollie (Y5) - Labour
- Malia (Y5) - Labour
- Abdul (Y5) - Liberal Democrat
- Sofia (Y5) - Green
Well done to everyone for making this happen. A special mention to Ms Murtagh and Ms Jones for their energy in supporting this election.
