This afternoon, Year 6 started to think about the upcoming election and what democracy means. We had to clarify that "Labour" doesn't have anything to do with giving birth in this context to begin with, and slowly started to understand that sometimes you might still not get what you want - even if you have voted. Year 6 then came up with their own parties and made choices about what they would have as part of their party manifesto, if it were up to them. (I think they've actually made some really well-considered choices.)
