<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Year 6 McLaren we are studying Federation, Democracy and the election process. Last Friday we held an election about which vegetable was the best. We made campaign posters, and prepared and presented election speeches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We learned how votes are confidential and you only get one chance to vote so every number you write has value. We learned how an election is run, how the ballots are counted and how to tell if they are formal or informal. We also learnt about preferential voting and how it can make a big difference in the final count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capsicum won the final vote. Lettuce came second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Capsicum’s speech was very energetic.<\/p>\nAnnabelle G<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

I think Lettuce’s speech was fun and informative.<\/p>\nEmma<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

It was fun to re-enact the election with all the jobs.<\/p>\nZahra<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

It was a great experience and we now understand how the voting process works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We learnt how the vote counting works and what votes can\u2019t be registered because they are incorrect. Like if you tick or cross the boxes on the ballot paper it is incorrect and it won\u2019t be counted. When we learnt about preferential voting and then did it it was very interesting and with help from our great teacher Mrs McLaren it really became clear how the Government works.<\/p>\nJet<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
