• Primary Quiz at Southlands High School

  Thu 22 Sep 2011

  The 22nd of September saw the return of the annual Primary Quiz at Southlands High School.
  
  Children from Year 6 entered the quiz full of enthusiasm and made a great start!
  
  First up was the science round. Alfie and Adam entered this round and magnificently used their knowledge of circuits to make four bulbs light up, in addition to answering some science-based questions.
  
  The General Knowledge team, comprising of Ellie, Chloe, Macy and Megan, worked superbly together to answer a plethora of questions.
  
  After week one, Coppull Parish lay 3rd out of the 11 teams in the league, although that could all change after the next few rounds in the coming weeks. Let's hope we can keep up the good work!
  
  Many thanks to Mrs Corry who has been training the quiz team and also for attending this event with the children.

• Reading Buddies at Coppull Parish

  Thu 15 Sep 2011

  The children in Year 5 have been given a very important role this term of helping the children in Year 1 with their reading.  Each child has chosen their own 'buddy' who they listen read on a weekly basis.
  
  In class, Year 5 discussed the importance of reading and how they could help the children in Year 1, in particular those who are struggling with their reading. 
  
  Here are just a few ways that the Year 5 children thought they could help their buddy...

  • Point to the words as they are reading
  • Help to sound out tricky words
  • Discuss the pictures and ask questions
  • Read the text together
  • Be patient with them
  • Try and show them that reading is fun!

  How else do you think they could help their buddy?
  
  It has been really lovely to see Year 5 working so well with their buddy, especially as they are so encouraging and helpful.  Keep up the good work!
