Houses of Parliament Visit For Year 7 Active Citizens
Year 7 B Band students had a tour around the Houses of Parliament earlier this week to learn about the importance of democracy and the role of parliament.
The trip extended the curriculum for Year 7 students who recently examined the role of democracy and British Values in both their history and PSHE lessons.
"It was exciting to learn about Westminster Hall surviving a fire," said John. "We also learned about the important roles of both houses in creating a balance of power in our democracy. I didn't know about the role of the House of Lords."
Abdul said: 'It was great to visit somewhere we see so often in the news. We learned more about Guy Fawkes gun-powder plot as well as the different ways the MPs can vote in parliament. It was interesting to learn about how history has shaped our democracy today!"
