The CM2 Children's Parliament

LE PARLEMENT DES ENFANTS DES CM2 By Ms Cindy Derraridj, FS Primary Teacher

The CM2 of the French section took part, in French class, in the 27th Children’s Parliament organised by the As semblée nationale, the Éducation nationale, the AEFE and the Mission Laïque Française. The aim of this competition for CM2 was to draft a law like real MPs and discover how a democratic debate works. This year’s theme was ‘Encouraging all young peo ple to take part in sport’.

The CM2 students in the French Section began by sub mitting a letter of application and were selected to rep resent the AEFE Asia-Pacific region in this 27th edition of the competition. To carry out this project, the students studied the role of MPs, the process of drafting a law and the workings of the National Assembly, before and during their Civic lessons. The pupils were very inspired by the theme of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. They did a great deal of research and demonstrated their seriousness in this topic. They then drafted a law consisting of an ex planatory memorandum and 4 articles. Well done to them for this remarkable piece of work!
