In Maths the children have worked hard on learning about area and perimeter and started looking at recognising and describing the properties of 3D shapes. They spent some time this week making some 3D shapes as well.
This week we began our new English unit about the narrative ‘When the Sky Falls’. This is set in WWII and so we have needed to develop our understanding of life at this time. Year 6 have thoughtfully discussed evacuation and the Blitz, coming up with interesting insights and a multitude of questions. In History, we explored how Potters Bar was impacted by evacuation due to our location.
On Thursday, Mrs Heymoz visited the class to announce the Leadership Roles. To earn their roles, Year 6 students were assigned time to write letters explaining how they align with their passions and interests, developing their persuasive communication skills. All leaders will play a crucial role in the organisation and execution of a wide range of events that enrich the school experience for all pupils at Pope Paul, helping to promote collaboration and shared responsibilities.
As they embark on their respective journeys in their new roles, there is no doubt that their contributions will significantly impact the enjoyment and enrichment of school-life at Pope Paul.
A real highlight of the week was meeting their new reading partners today. There was great excitement and it was wonderful to see the start of these new relationships.
