Today, our Primary 6/7 pupils had a Question and Answer session with two MLAs. First they pitted their questions to Jim Allister MLA online and then to Trevor Clarke MLA in person. The children’s question covered a wide variety of topics and we thank AnneMarie, the Education Officer from Stormont for organising the meetings for us and to both Mr Allister and Mr Clarke for their time as we know they are both extremely busy. One Primary 7 star was especially delighted to talk to Mr Allister!
