At Pigeon Mountain Primary School, Kauri team spent weeks learning about democracy in New Zealand. We covered the history of voting including women’s suffrage, the MMP system and how to vote.
Students did their own research about different parties and created posters.
On the last day of Term 3 the classes got together for an authentic voting experience.
Individuals were chosen for different roles such as enrolment officer, manager and vote counter.Students were extremely engaged with this inquiry unit and will be encouraging
their parents and whanau to get into their local booth soon.
