  6. A note from the Games Parliament… At our first Games Parliament meeting we felt that it would be a good idea to try and organise activities at break or lunch times for any of the P1s, P2s and P3s who would be interested. To try and find out which activities would be popular, the Games Parliament will be sending questionnaires to all your classes to ask what you think. Once we get all the questionnaires back we will discuss this at the next GP meeting. If you ever want to pass on playground ideas to the Games Parliament please speak to any GP reps or Mr Balfour.
