Lesson video

So, what we're going to have a look at today is, "Should 16 and 17 year olds be allowed "to vote in elections?" Really interesting and important topic for many people.

Elections, as we know, are part of how our governments work, as they allow us to decide who will lead our country.

But not everyone's allowed to vote in the UK.

All British, Commonwealth and Irish citizens aged 18 and over can vote.

And the UK parliamentary democracy changes over time as we've seen, haven't we, through the suffragettes, and the chartists.

And changes to voting rights, therefore, and who can and cannot vote are all part of this.

The age at which people can vote in elections was lowered in 1969 to 18.

And some people would argue that it's now time to open up the democratic system even further and include 16 and 17 year olds among the group of people who are able to vote.

However, as we know, this is a healthy democracy, and there's lots of sides to this story, lots of different arguments, which we'll explore today.

So how are we going to do that? To break up our lesson we're going to go through these things.

We're going to have a look at who can vote, the legal ages in the UK, the great debate votes at 16, and then you're going to have a go at creating your own debate.

Before we start all that though, have a look at this, your first exercise.

I'd like you to draw a line in the centre of your page somewhere and consider this statement.

"16 and 17 year old should have the right "to vote in elections." If you think, "I really disagree with that statement," you'd put a cross next to the strongly disagree side of the line.

But if you're not sure, you'd place it somewhere in the middle.

And if you thought, "Oh, I absolutely agree with that," then you would put it near the strongly agree side.

Do keep hold of this line throughout the lesson though, because you might hear an argument and you might think, "Oh, actually now I'm not sure where I stand.

"I might change my point of view." And that's absolutely fine.

We do that all the time in life, don't we? We hear something, different argument and it might change our mind about something.

It'd be interesting to see at the end of the lesson how far you've changed your mind from where you are now, if you do at all.

So just keep hold of that.

So we can use it as a living opinion line throughout the lesson.

So just pause the video now to draw your line, have a think about that statement and then press play when you're ready.

Before we start thinking about that issue in a lot more detail, we need to know who can vote in the UK.

In the UK, you can register to vote at 16 for local and government elections.

If you want to find out more about voter registration and why that's important, have a look Mr. Miscall's citizenship lessons.

The elections that you can take part in depends on three things.

It depends on your citizenship.

And I don't want you to confuse this with citizenship lessons.

Citizenship is also a legal status.

It just means being a citizen of a particular country.

It also depends on your age and where you live.

So let's take that further.

Have a look at this diagram.

Take some notes if you'd like to.

In terms of citizenship, if you're British, Irish or from the Commonwealth, you can vote in all elections that take place.

If you hold EU citizenship, you can vote in all elections that take place apart from general elections.

So let's consider your age.

Well, if you're 16 to 17 years old in the UK, this is what you can do.

If you live in Scotland, you can vote in Scottish parliament elections, and local elections.

If you live in Wales, you can vote in Senedd Cymru and Welsh parliament elections.

If you live in England and Northern Ireland, you can register to vote.

Can't vote in any elections at all.

But when you're 18 or older in the UK, you can vote in all elections, including the general election.

What about where you live? Well in England, if you live in London, you can vote in elections to the London Assembly and for Mayor of London, when you reach 18.

Other the parts of the UK also have mayoral elections and elections for a police and crime commissioner.

But again, you need to be 18 to take part in these.

In Scotland, you can vote for the Scottish parliament elections, in Wales the Senedd Cymru and Welsh parliament elections, and the police and crime commissioner elections.

And in Northern Ireland you can vote in Northern Ireland Assembly elections.

So now you've seen who can and who can't vote throughout different parts of the UK.

That's really what we're going to have a look at today.

This issue, that 16 and 17 year olds can't vote in general elections.

They can't vote in certain areas of the UK in any elections, but should they have the right to vote in all elections? Lots of arguments on either side of this issue.

Let's have a look at some of them.

If you're arguing for the rights of 16 and 17 year-olds to have the right to vote in elections, these are some of the arguments, have a read with me.

People say, well you have more legal rights and responsibilities when you turn 16, more political decisions start to affect you at 16, such as tax rates if you work, and you have knowledge of voting and how it works.

Young people have received citizenship education in school, and this includes learning about electoral systems and how the government works.

And also by extending the franchise, the right to vote, it might increase voter turnout at elections.

Young people are politically active.

We saw last lesson, didn't we, that voter turnout for young people at elections is quite low.

So this is an argument they put forward for that.

However, if you're against this idea, the main arguments put forward are that people legally become adults at the age of 18.

You don't need your parent's consent for any activity, you're considered fully mature, independent, and a responsible adult at the age of 18.

Most countries in the world have kept 18 as the voting age.

At 16, you may live at home and are more easily influenced by parents and teachers, and most surveys show that people want to keep the voting age at 18.

We'll go into these arguments in a lot more detail later on.

I just wanted to show you at this stage the main arguments on both sides that are generally used and presented when we're talking about this issue.

Let's have a look at this exercise to start thinking about some of those arguments in a bit more detail.

Between the ages of 10 and 25, your rights and responsibilities change, and you can do different things at different ages.

So have a look at some of the things that you can do in the UK.

There's a whole list of them there.

I won't read them all out.

I'll just pick a few.

So in the UK, you can become the director of a company, you can join the armed forces, you can register to vote, you can join a political party.

Just pause the video now to tell me which of these things can you do legally at 16? And then press play when you've written your list, and we'll compare notes in a minute.

How did you do? Look, 16 for 16.

You can do all those things at the age of 16.

Are there any that surprised you? And this is really at the heart of the argument for lowering the vote from 18 to 16.

You're considered mature enough to do these things, but you still can't vote.

Many people would say, look, I'm able to work, I'm able to pay tax and national insurance to the government, but I can't choose how they spend the money that they collect from me.

I can join the Armed Forces.

I can serve this country and yet I'm not considered old enough to vote.

Lots of arguments then for lowering the vote at 16.

However, like with all the issues in democracy, there's counter arguments, and in order to consider your view and what you think it's important to weigh the arguments for and against the voting age.

So look, these things you can't do until you reach 18.

People who wish to keep the voting age as it is, argue that legally you become an adult at 18, and this is a time considered in law that you change from being a child to an adult, and you shouldn't be given full voting rights when you're a child, as this is an important rite of passage.

So let's have a look at some of these things.

We said before about joining the army and serving your country.

Well, until you reach 18, you can't actually take part in frontline activity.

You can't fight for your country.

You can't open a bank account in your own name until you reach 18, or serve on a jury.

You can't get a tattoo, and you can't buy fireworks until you've reached 18.

And we said about leaving home and marrying, well, you can't do that at all without parental permission until you reach 18.

So those who would argue against giving the rights to vote for 16 and 17 year olds do make the point that you are not considered completely mature enough until you reach 18.

So we've done a lot of learning now, haven't we? Time to see what you can remember.

Let's recap everything.

All you have to do is write true or false on your paper.

At 16, you have to pay government taxes if you work.

Voting depends on your age, where you live and your citizenship.

You can vote in all areas of the UK at 18.

At 16, you can leave home without parental permission.

So write down true or false for those areas.

I'll count to three.

One, two, three.

Pause if you need a bit more time, here are the answers.

There.

Okay, how did you do? It's only the top two that are true.

The bottom two, you can vote in all areas of the UK at 18.

Well, not quite.

In Wales and Scotland just for local elections you can vote at 16, can't you, for those.

At 16 you can leave home without parental permission.

Well, we can't do that at 16.

You must have parental permission to leave home.

So moving on, we're going to really now focus on the issue and we're going to be using citizenship skills to create a debate around votes at 16.

Are you ready? Being an active, informed citizen means that you have certain attributes.

You have an interest in your community.

You take part in responsible action and you believe this political agency, you believe in the political process and that you can actually make a difference.

You have certain skills.

You're able to research, debate, think critically and take part in informed action.

And you have this knowledge, knowledge of democracy, government fairness, justice, rights, and equality.

These are key for citizenship learning.

And we've been talking about all of these keywords throughout this unit.

So now you should be absolutely expert at those ideas and concepts.

So we're going to just think about skills that you might use in citizenship.

I'm sure you've come across these before.

Skills to research, to think critically and to debate.

And all those definitions and what they mean, and some ideas you can see on your screen now.

We're going to have a look at the first of those, researching, for the next task.

Here it is.

This is All About Politics, news, debates and opinion from the heart of Westminster.

The Welsh government announced plans this week for 16 year olds to be given the vote in local elections.

And this led to a clash in the commons as Emily Thornberry for Labour asked David Liddington why 16 year olds can't vote in England.

So should 16 year olds, 16 to 18 year olds get the vote? To discuss that I'm joined by the writer and journalist Benedict Spence, and by the founder and director of the young people's newspaper, Shout Out, Matteo Bergamini.

So, Matteo, why should they get it? I think they should because it's high time that we start to include young people in politics, you know, 16 and 17 year olds can do a number of other things.

And it's a great way for them to get involved in politics.

They also have a say, well, they should have a say in our society.

It's the way that's, it's the best way of getting them to include themselves in our politics and the way our country is run.

It gives them a voice.

It makes them feel included in our society.

And in the end, they're going to inherit this country.

So why shouldn't they have a say in how it's run? Everyone wants to engage young people, give them the vote, would that be the way to do it? Well, I think it's important first and foremost, it's an interesting point that you said there, that they're going to inherit this country, but let's actually think about that more broadly.

When you stand to inherit something that doesn't necessarily mean that you get to decide what to do with it right now.

I might inherit, I don't know a car from a relative.

It doesn't mean I get to decide where to drive it for the next couple of years on the off chance that I'll inherit it.

Everybody, yes, everybody should get the chance to have a say at some point down the line.

I think we can, all three of us can agree that the right to vote is the cornerstone of our society.

It's the cornerstone of democracy, of course.

It is the most important thing that sets us apart- Well women's suffragettes are going to be celebrated- Of course.

Next week, the centenary.

Absolutely.

No doubt we'll come on to that.

But the thing with that is it carries with it the most responsibility, the most gravitas.

And there are things that 16 year olds cannot do will not be able to do, even after they get the vote, should they get it, that the political parties who are proposing they get to vote, aren't interested in giving to them.

Such as? Well, for example they can't smoke, they can't drink, they can't buy fireworks, they can't buy knives, obvious things, but also, slightly more ridiculous things.

They can't use a tanning bed.

They can't get a tattoo.

Just yesterday, the Welsh government passed a law saying that under eighteens won't be allowed to get piercings in quote intimate places.

Now, regardless, whether you think that's in good taste or not, what it does betray is an attitude amongst these politicians that these 16 year olds are capable of making complex decisions on issues that will affect millions of people, but are incapable of making pretty black or white decisions about what to do with their own body.

I mean, there's, just going back to your point of inheritance, I mean, you're not affected by that car.

You know, it's not something that you're going to end up- Well, I guess if they crash it, then you wouldn't inherit it, would you? Of course, but at the moment, while it's not yours, you're not affected by it.

At the moment we're affected by that government, you know, 16 and 17 year olds are in the educational system.

They are affected by how the educational systems are run.

They're affected by how you know, when EMA got scrapped or whatever.

But I mean, isn't it illogical to say, yes you can have a vote, but you can't have a tattoo or go to a tanning salon? I mean, either people are grown up enough to make their own decisions, or they're not.

Well I think they're grownup to make decisions depending on what that situation is.

So a tattoo, something that's permanent, a tattoo is something that's quite trivial in regards to the vote.

You know, the vote is something that I think is quite sacred to, to us all.

And it's something that I think gives you a say in our society, you know, we're all talking about getting young people involved in politics and it's something that we, that has alluded us for some time.

You know, young people have often voted less than others.

And I think quite dramatically is because we don't give them that ability to have that say at a younger age.

I mean, a libertarian might say, actually it's wrong to have those restrictions on things like tattoos and tanning and give them that, give them the right to drink.

Well, I will be honest, actually, if somebody can give me a good argument for giving 16 year olds the right to do all of these things I'm happy to reevaluate my view on whether or not they should have the vote.

But you mentioned getting them involved, giving them a voice.

Your organisation is involved in going into schools and providing political education, providing literacy for children that actually don't get it at the moment.

Now that's very admirable, but it's not something that happens in all schools.

In fact, it happens in a small minority of schools.

Children are still not politically literate.

Until actually you get them to that stage, I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to give them the vote.

For example, you want to go back to the example of the car.

You don't give somebody the driver's licence before they start taking lessons.

Surely they should get to the end of that process before actually you say to them, all right, now you go out and vote.

You could have that same argument with a 20 year old, a 30 year old, a 50 year old, none of us have ever been educated in politics because it's something that's never really taken part in the educational system.

You know, yes, I would love to see political education and political literacy in all schools.

And one of the things that we do is deliver political literacy courses in schools to try and make that a reality.

But I don't think that should be a prerequisite at the moment to stop young people, 16 and 17 year olds from having the vote, because the more young people have a say, the more they feel they have a stake in our society, the more likely the chance that they will start to educate themselves more and therefore take charge of that.

When you hit 18, you've got a load of other things going on.

And if you had this void of political engagement up until you hit 18, you're not going to suddenly start engaging.

It's only if you have that at a tiered system where at 16 and 17, you can start to have a say, you can start to vote in elections, be it local elections as they're doing in Wales for example.

That is true.

But my point is that right now that education doesn't exist and there aren't actually any plans to bring it in.

And there are two things that one should say- Well, politicians are actually quite afraid of bringing in political education.

Yeah, for good reason.

I want to bring up that point, because you both admirably are arguing the principles of this, but it isn't the truth when it comes to the politician, so we've got to make this decision, giving votes to 16 year olds comes down to whether they think it's going to benefit them and their party or not.

Well, there are three things that I want to say.

I'll try to be very quick.

The first one is that, yes, I don't actually think that this move is a genuine move to get people more politically motivated.

It's because the Labour Party have selected a leader who for one reason or another, despite going up against possibly the worst Conservative government in living memory, wasn't able to win a general election.

But polling suggests is very popular amongst young people especially young people who cannot currently vote.

Ergo, it would make a lot of sense to try to get those people onto the electoral register.

But further to that, when you were talking about, forgive me, people getting more people involved, getting more people engaged and taking control of their situation, if there isn't these, if there isn't political education in schools, who are the children, the 16 year olds who are going to vote, I'll answer it for you.

They're people like me, they're people who come from frankly far more privileged backgrounds who have access to these sorts of things.

They're not going be the ones who simply do not have the resources.

So that's unfair.

And then the third point of course, is that, do we want to then roll this, do we then want to roll that out into the education system? Of course we do, but- Are you suspicious of the motives of the politicians who are advocating this? I mean, politicians always have motives behind things.

It's the reason why the Conservatives have been courting, you know, the 50 plus grey vote for years, you know, they do this all the time to benefit their own gains.

There's no surprise there, there's no issue there.

And you think it would benefit Labour? I mean, you know, young people tend to vote Labour.

I don't think there's anything that anyone can deny to suggest otherwise.

However, you need to look at the positives that could come out of this.

And the fact is that if you start to tier, almost like a voting system where you have young people 16 and 17 year olds, starting to vote at local elections, we're not talking about general elections, although frankly, in an ideal world, I'd love to see that happen.

But we're talking about local elections where you're starting to give people a taste.

Yeah, but no-one votes in council elections.

Well, you're starting to give people a taste in our democracy and if 16 and 17 year olds, you saw what happened with the Scottish referendum, for example, where you start to get young people engaged and so forth.

A lot to think about there, thank you both very much indeed.

Thank you very much.

The reason I wanted you to watch that video is just because of the way Matteo and Benedict used counter-arguments.

For example, Matteo said, "Young people will inherit this country.

"They should be included and have a say "in how our country's run." And Benedict then argued against that point.

He said, "Inherit doesn't mean you get to decide "what happens to the country now.

"You can inherit a car, but you can't drive it." And that argument was bounced back to Matteo, who responded with, "Well driving a car doesn't affect you "right now, 16 and 17 year olds will inherit the country, "and they are affected by political decisions now." A new point was made, "Well, you should have a say in how the country's "run at the right time.

"Voting is the cornerstone of our democratic system.

"It carries the most importance." And it bounced back to Matteo who responded, "Young people are responsible "and have some political education in school." The argument changed a little bit at this point, but Benedict did come back to respond to that point made a little bit later, when he said, "Political education is not consistent in all schools.

"Children are still not politically literate." So I think you get the idea though, that Matteo would put a point across and then Benedict would argue against it or vice versa.

And that's known as making a counter argument.

I think you get the idea though, that this is a really important skill.

If you're going debate effectively, you need to listen to the points that people make and argue against those points so that it becomes a stronger argument.

So we're now going to move along.

We're on task three already, and we're going to extend the arguments from the video that we saw.

And you're going to formalise them a little bit more.

I'd like you to create a notes page.

Label one side for votes at 16 and the other against.

Remember last week we had to look at this system, which you can use or you can use your own system, whichever's easier.

I want you to watch the video and find three new arguments that the speaker raises for lowering the voting age.

So you'll put all your notes on the for side at the moment.

I'm going to call the mover of the first motion.

And I want you to give the mover of the first motion and of all subsequent motions terrific support and encouragement.

To move the motion I call from the East Midlands, Alex McDermot.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

This is the single most important issue you will hear today.

Votes at 16.

This is it.

But, you've heard it all before, haven't you? This has been a UKYP national campaign for the past two years.

It's been debated and debated and debated and nothing has happened.

There has been no change.

I was born on the 20th of November, 2003.

Believe it or not, I might not look it, but I am 14.

And between that day and this day, there have been 16 parliamentary bills and there've been seven democratic calls for change.

Children and Young People's Unit, 2002.

Vote at 16, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2014, 2012 to 2018.

And just three weeks ago, this very House of Commons briefing paper, 42 pages was published.

And I'm sure you've all read it in detail.

And yes, like I say, you have heard it all before and still no change.

So, I'm not going to go over old ground.

I'm not going to remind you of the compelling evidence for giving us the vote of the Marcus Wagner electorial study from Austria, where by the way, the voting age is 16, which proves the quality of young people's votes is just as good as the quality of the older voters.

I wouldn't need to revisit the idea that 16 and 17 year olds can legally marry, fight for and have sex with their MPs, but they can't vote for them.

I wouldn't bother to frighten you with the risks of not giving young people a voice with disaffection and disengagement, with lack of faith in our political system, with seeking a voice elsewhere, through gangs, through crime, through extremism and through revolution.

No, no, I'm not going to do any of that, simply because you've heard it all before.

So why has nothing changed? Simple.

There is not the political will.

Those in power do you not want another group to woo, who speak in languages they don't understand, who operate on social media platforms they've never heard of.

And young people love to change things, including the people who lead them.

And so they won't give us the vote.

Not unless we, the UK Youth Parliament make it happen.

And therefore, I'm going to ask you one question, and one question only.

And each of you will need to decide, how do you wish to be judged by your children and the future generation when they look back at your decision today? Let me give you some context.

Who would say this about women getting the vote? "Oh yeah, so, women would be neglecting their homes "if they came into the Commons.

"It would be cruel to drag them into the political arena "to ask them to undertake responsibilities "which they do not understand "and which they do not care for." Now, who would say this? I'll tell you.

112 years ago, Sir Samuel Evans, MP for Mid-Glamorgan and Sir Randall Kramer, Liberal MP for Hackney who presented the argument on this very spot.

Now, how would you judge this kind of view now? Sexist, arrogant, ignorant and prejudicial.

So we stand here, at yet another crossroads in the UK's democracy.

How do you wish to be judged by the future generations? Don't vote for arrogance.

Don't vote for ignorance.

Don't vote for prejudice.

Don't be judged by the future generation for depriving us, the youth, of a voice.

And yes, yes you've heard it all before, but this time let's make a real difference.

Let's engage our youth.

Let's lobby our MPs and let's make votes for 16 our national campaign.

Thank you.

How did you do? He was a really passionate speaker, wasn't he? So the three new arguments are in pink that he made.

He made quite a few arguments, actually.

He talked about an electoral study in Austria.

He looked at the fact that there's a lack of faith in the political system and that younger voters will be disengaged with politics and maybe tempted to seek a voice with gangs and so forth.

Did you get any of those issues? Spend a moment having a read of this slide and taking any further notes that you need.

So task four, we're wrestling through them now.

I'd like you to turn your notes pages over, because you're going to find evidence against votes at 16.

So what you're going to do is read the slide and choose the three most convincing arguments.

So pause the video, choose three arguments and write them on your notes slide, but really consider each of these.

Great job.

Okay, so to sum all that up then, there's certainly strengths that 16 and 17 olds should be allowed to vote in elections.

And they're things like, should be lowered to continue improving democracy, 16 and 17 year olds hold many responsibilities and that they have better representation.

We looked at some evidence didn't we? At 16, you can vote in Scottish and Welsh elections, local elections.

And we said also that actually, when it comes down to it, 24% of the public support lowering the voting age, which isn't very many people when you think about the entire population.

And the weaknesses there, you've got full citizenship rights.

They're not obtained until you reach maturity at 18, When you become officially an adult and you're still living at home, you're still going to school, you're easily influenced by people around you.

And the fact that actually it's younger voters that have such low participation in voting.

Should have lots of information in order to complete the very, very final task.

But before we get there, I want you now to go back to the line you created at the start of the lesson and where do you stand now? 16 and 17 year olds should have the right to vote in elections.

So put your mark down on your opinion line and see if it's changed.

Great.

Here we are.

You're going to need all your notes, all your critical thinking and everything that you've amassed during this lesson to create the debate.

Here's a model speech.

You're going to argue against this speech, but I'll tell you how to do that in a little while.

So let's have a look at it.

"The voting age in the UK has not changed since 1969, "despite progress in other areas of life "that affect young people.

"Further, there's not an equal representation "of young people within the voting system across the UK "as 16 year olds can vote in both Scottish "and Welsh parliamentary elections.

"UK Youth Parliament advocate for votes at 16, "arguing this is consistent with other areas "of responsibility.

"16 year olds are considered responsible under the law.

"They can marry, join the Armed Forces, "and consent to medical treatment.

"They should be enfranchised "and participate in the democratic process.

"Others argue that at 16, you're not legally an adult, "despite being able to join the army.

"You're not sent into frontline combat "as you're regarded as a child under human rights law.

"So why should children vote? "Why stop at 16 and not give 12 year olds the vote? "On balance, I say having had excellent citizenship lessons, "they are fully prepared.

"It's time to modernise and demand reform." Okay, I'm sure you could do much better than that.

So that argues for the voting age to be reduced to 16.

So I would like you to argue against that.

You can take out bits of information from this speech and use it and twist it around, like we saw Matteo and Benedict doing in the video.

So here's how you're going to write your counter argument.

There's a plan there, list all the arguments that you've got.

You've got those on your notes, haven't you? Key facts and underline, highlight them, and all the information linked to votes at 16 that you're going to use in your speech.

Then step two, you need to define the issue in a bit more detail.

Explain why the voting age should not be lowered.

Remember, you're arguing against what I've just said.

And step three, provide key arguments, persuade the audience that your position is the correct one.

Use arguments for lowering the voting age and then argue against them.

And then finally come to an overall judgement.

What is your view? You'll need to spend a little bit of time thinking about this and creating your speech.

So just pause the video now, go through all of your notes and start to make that plan, and I'll see you in a bit.

So I'll be really interested to read your counter argument and see all of your notes from today, how you've researched, how you've thought critically about all of the evidence and the arguments so far, and see actually if you've changed your mind at any point as well.

And finally, you've used those skills to debate, haven't you, just now.

Brilliant work.

Okay, pop back up on your screen just for the final few slides.

You've done really, really well today, so brilliant job.

Now you've got the skills and knowledge about this issue, you can inspire others to take an interest in politics and current affairs.

Democracy needs a healthy balance of views.

I hope you agree with that.

And in order to thrive we need lots of different types of opinions.

So maybe you could start conversations with your peers at school, around votes at 16 and see what they think.

You could also try these few ideas.

What about an oracy drive in school, finding out what issues are of concern to students.

Remember, I talked to my students about what concern those and we looked at these in the last lesson, issues around mental health and knife crime are really important to them, but equally you'll have different areas of concern or maybe similar ones in the community that you live in.

So have a look, see what people think, get students' voice out there.

Then you could also organise a political speaking competition, maybe in school, or encourage teachers to start a debate club.

If you don't feel ready for all of that, then how about creating a debate of your own, with your family? Use any topic that you'll find interesting, so that you can just pass on your new skills and your new learning.

So.

Look what we've done today.

Done really well, loads of stuff.

Looked at legal ages in the UK, who can and can't vote.

And you've been encouraged to give your views around the debate votes at 16, and you've created your own debate, which I'd love to read.

Only one last thing to do is to.

So all you've got to do now is complete the exit quiz and that's just so that you can see how much you've learned today.

It'll be interesting to see your scores as well.

Hopefully you'll get all of those, well I'm sure you'll get all of those right.

We've done a lot of learning, haven't we? So if you'd like to, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, tagging @oaknational and #learnwithoak.

I look forward to seeing all the brilliant stuff that you've done.

We've got one lesson left in this unit.

So I hope you go on to complete that.

I look forward to seeing you there and that's it for today.

Have a safe day, enjoy the rest of your learning, whichever you decide, units you decide to take, take care and I'll see you soon.
