LJFS Years 7 and 8 students will be running a full campaign for the week, with the Brodetsky Key Stage 2 pupils serving as the electorate. We hope that, by doing this, the following aims will be achieved:
1. The students will
understand the role/purpose of the British
Parliamentary system.
2.
The students will understand the policies of the main national
political parties.
3. The students will start to develop their own political
opinions/beliefs through challenge and question.
4.
The students will understand and challenge the use of bias in all
forms of media.
The LJFS pupils will be split into eight groups. Five groups will represent the main political parties. They will have to campaign under assumed party names but base their chosen policies in their understanding of agreed national policy for each party.
The sixth group will be able to represent a party of their own creation and policies of their own choosing.
The remaining two groups will represent Election Officers and the media.
To guide the process I am using resources provided by the Parliament Education Service.

We will post updates on their progress each day with links to any on line resources each party, officers or our media team produces.
