In today’s assembly we learnt about the July 4th UK general election. They happen less often than the Olympics and the World Cup, so it is a BIG deal. We are lucky to live in a democracy where we (well, the adults!) can help choose who is in charge of the country.
First we learnt what all the words we hear during a general election mean.
Then we learnt more about the role of the prime minister.
Finally we learnt about voting.
We agreed to go home and check that our adults have registered to vote, have photo ID and know where their local polling station is!
