Be Informed. Be Curious. Be Heard.

At Lower Fields Primary Academy, we are passionate about our children’s voices having an impact on practice and policy- to really make a mark on their world. In addition to amplifying our weekly results, we work with a range of long-term partners who help elevate those voices to a whole new level.

This week, we’re turning our attention to toys. Our older voters will explore how many toys are actually bought for adults — and consider whether you’re ever really too old for them. Meanwhile, younger voters will be hearing about the new Toy Story film and its focus on screens versus toys, as they think about which they truly prefer.

Vote Topic Description

Last week’s the Cambridge Dictionary revealed its Word of the Year: parasocial — a term describing the one-sided relationships fans often form with celebrities. It’s sparked debate about how much value these connections hold and where healthy boundaries should be set. Older voters thought about whether parasocial relationships can be helpful, while younger voters thought about imaginary friends and their role in relationship-building.
