The meeting room was all set up as a polling station and each class took their votes along and posted them in the ballot boxes.
P7 pupils helped some of the younger ones to cast their votes.
This was part of the Right Blether campaign - a national vote organised by Tam Baillie, our Commissioner for Children and Young People in Scotland and we were giving our views on what is important to us at home, in our school, our community and in Scotland.
Tam Baillie came along in person to see how our voting was going and he was able to answer our questions and tell us more about the campaign.
P7 have drawn some cartoons about superheroes who could help children and have made up some lovely recipes for improving children's lives. (some examples will be added here later)
The Pupil Council will count the votes and return the results to Tam's team. It will also published on this blog.
Look out for it shortly!
