Parliament Week in Stiperstones

Today, Stiperstones have been learning about the UK Parliament and the creation of new laws.

We came up with some new bills which we believe the characters in our class book, Varjak Paw, would have voted in favour of.

These bills were then either approved or rejected by The House of Lords, The House of Commons and our monarch (the King).

Hopefully the characters in our books (all of them lawless street cats) will abide!
