On Wednesday 9th November, Dominic Laycock arrived at Charsfield School as part of parliamentary week to discuss democracy with all of us.
He showed us a short film made by young film clubbers from around the country about democracy. As a group we discussed what we had seen and gave our opinions.

Mr Laycock then showed us a film called ‘The Secret of Nimh’. We had a short interval (with popcorn and drinks!) before discussing this film. We got into small groups to discuss how we could make a difference. A democratic vote was taken to decide on the most popular pledge. This was to “
help people if they are stuck”. The whole school has made this pledge and we all signed it.
