• Amazing Archery

  Wed 19 Mar 2014

  Today, Stuart, an archery fanatic, made a special visit to our school to show us a new skill.

   

  Firstly, he gave a talk about all the different bows that have been constructed through the generations, such as long bows and the compound bow.
  
  He explained that the most expensive bow, a precurved bow, could cost you around £4000, whereas you could get one for around £100.
  
  After that he told us some interesting facts. He explained that over 5000 archers were needed at the Battle of Ajencourt. The enemy thought that the sun had been blocked out because of all of the arrows in being fired! Over 60,000 arrows were fired per hour during the battle.  Amazing!

   

  Lastly, he took each class outside to take some aims at targets using an Olympic bow.  The highest score you could have got was 30 points, although the highest score in Year 6 was 24. 
  
  I hope you enjoy reading about our fun archery as much as we did doing it!

• Author Visit

  Wed 12 Mar 2014

  On the 12th March our school has a special visit by an author. The author was called Adam Perrott and we had a lot of fun when he came.

   

  Firstly, he talked about his books and told us funny stories  (by the way, his books are called ‘The Odds’ and ‘The Odds Strike Back’).  After that, he played some games with us and read more of his wonderful books.

   

  Finally, he signed all of the books that the school has bought. We had our photograph taken with him too.

   

  If your child bought a book or two, you have probably seen them reading it
  as many of us couldn’t wait to read them!

• World Book Day

  Fri 07 Mar 2014

  Our playground this morning was filled with book characters as we celebrated
  World Book Day here at Coppull Parish.

   

  As you can see from the photographs, school welcomed Harry Potter, Gangsta Granny, Horrid Henry, Little Red Riding Hood, Wally and even the Cat in the Hat to name but a few.

   

  All of the classes had a book-filled day which started off with a whole-school parade and the unveiling of our new 'Book of  the Month' thanks to Ebb and Flo Bookshop in Chorley.

   

  The School Council and School Librarians organised another Book Swap event for the
  afternoon which everyone really enjoyed and many couldn't wait to read their new books!

   

  Many thanks to everyone for making it such a wonderful World Book Day 2014!
