Year 6 ended the half term by celebrating our class saint, Saint Pope John Paul II, on his feast day.
We arrived at school dressed in red, blue and yellow clothes to reflect St. John Paul II’s coat of arms. We shared together in a prayer service to reflect on his life and call to serve God. We learnt all about Saint Pope John Paul II and his life, including his papacy and his journey to sainthood. It was soon clear to see why he is such a special man and why his life was so highly celebrated!
During the afternoon, we did a carousel of activities, including creating flags of his coat of arms, timelines of his life and watercolour images of Saint Pope John Paull II himself.
Finally, we saved the best until last… we had learnt that Saint Pope John Paull II was the first Polish pope so we decided to all bring in an item of Polish food to indulge in with a shared buffet! Everyone did so well trying everything, from different home-baked goods to gherkins!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to a fabulous day and for bringing in food – whether shop bought or homebaked, it was all delicious! 🙂
