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.
