Our Year Five #GE2017 #MockElection

Today is the 2017 General Election Day. Today, Year Five spent the day learning about the process of electing a government.



In Year Five, we have four classes. Each class took on the name of a political party: Vision, Transform, Tomorrow and Future. They chose what ministries their party would have and who would be the minister for that ministry. 



Next, each ministry, lead by their minister, wrote their part of the manifesto.






We all sat and listened to each party deliver their manifesto.



After that, each child visited the Polling Station to cast their vote. 




We had children responsible for counting the votes. The results were as follows...

5DA/LM - 10.7%
5BH - 27.7%
5SF - 40.2%
5AC - 21.4%
Spoiled Ballots - 0.9%

We hope it was useful in learning about the General Election.
