AM Welcomes Local School


CARL SARGEANT AM WELCOMES SOUTHDOWN PRIMARY SCHOOL TO ASSEMBLY
Twenty seven pupils and their teachers from Southdown Primary School in Buckley have visited their Assembly Member Carl Sargeant at the National Assembly for Wales.The pupils met with Mr Sargeant in the Assembly Chamber’s public gallery, and had a very entertaining question and answer session. Pupils took the opportunity to quiz their AM on a wide variety of issues.Mr Sargeant said: “I really enjoyed meeting with the pupils of Southdown Primary School and their teachers. Welcoming local groups from Alyn and Deeside to the Assembly is one of the most special parts of my job. It is great to see such an enthusiastic group of young people. Many of their questions showed that they are really clued-up about politics and the Assembly, and I was impressed in particular by their clear interest in the eco-friendly aspects of our new Senedd building. I hope the children enjoyed their visit as much as I did.”The children were also treated to a full and interactive guided tour of the Assembly building and the Pierhead building which houses a museum about the Assembly, before spending the afternoon visiting the Millennium Stadium.
