Homework for my 9 year old help!

[ellywellywoo]

My 9 year old for her homework has to find out what the prime minister does.

I need a website that gives out this info on this and also a bit about the government and other parties.

However everything we have found on the internet is written in such an adult way she just doesnt understand it.

Anyone know of a website for kids that will help her.

Homework has to be in Monday so no time to write to No 10.

Thanks in advance

Hi ellywellywoo :o)

I found this but not sure how much help it will be! It compares the UK prime ministers job to the US Presidents, maybe some useful bits for your daughters homework :o)

If you search about the site it has an interview with Gordon Brown which may tell your daughter a bit more about government, sorry I can't be of more help.

Is this any good - this is mainly a US site, but has a lot of useful info and is aimed at kids.

http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/page4.asp This has a day in the life of the primeminister film. Watching will maybe easier for her than reading about it.

This is meant for junior school children:

Probably too late now but for future reference check out the No 10 Downing Street website:

It's aimed at adults but a helpful parent could probably explain some of it in simpler terms.
