• Hand on Heart Assembly

  Thu 24 Oct 2013

  Today, we held a very special assembly with the charity 'Hand on Heart'.
  
  A few months ago, Coppull Parish Church School was nominated by Councillor Holgate to receive a defibrillator funded by the charity ‘Hand on Heart’. 

  
  Today the charity formally presented school with this piece of lifesaving equipment. 

  This charity aims to ensure schools are equipped with everything they need to make them into a Heart Safe environment.

   

  A Heart Safe environment is one where lifesaving equipment and training are provided for staff so that, should a sudden cardiac arrest occur, people are fully prepared to perform resuscitation and life support.

  Few schools have the opportunity to have this life saving equipment so we are very thankful to Councillor Holgate for nominating us.

  There were many different activities happening around school from cookery, artwork, painting and maths!

• Non-Uniform for Bijilo Lower Basic School

  Fri 04 Oct 2013

  Today we held a non-uniform in aid of Bijilo Lower Basic School in The Gambia.

   

  As you may be aware, Coppull Parish has supported this school for over a year now.
  We have held non-uniform days, cake sales and even an art exhibition with the aim to raise equipment and more importantly, awareness of this school and country.
  
  Today, children were asked to bring in items of sports equipment which will be put in the shipping container that is being sent to The Gambia at the end of October.
  
  The children at Bijilo currently have little playtime equipment and very few items for their PE lessons.  We know that all of the items you have donated will 
  make a real difference to their school.
  
  Thank you to everyone who sent in equipment today. 
  It is much appreciated and we thank you for your support. 
  Mr Bolam, who is our link teacher for this outreach, would also like to pass on his thanks too.
  
  We will put updates on our 'Latest News' page when the container arrives, so please keep a look for them!

   

  

• An Amazing Visit to Robinwood!

  Tue 01 Oct 2013

  30 children from Y5 and Y6 were very lucky to visit Robinwood this weekend for fun, sun and adventure! 

   

  During our three days at Barhaugh Hall in Alston, we completed many different activities from canoeing, archery and not forgetting the freezing cold stream walk.
  We managed to fit in 14 different activites in total which was brilliant!
  
  Our Robinwood experience started with a lovely walk through the Pennine hills with our group leaders for Moorland Challenge. The weather was perfect, and not raining, which made a nice change!

   

  Whilst at Robinwood, we took part in many activities which included
  
  - Crate Challenge
  - Climbing
   - Stream Walk
  - Giant Swing
  - Trapeze
  - Zip Wire
  - Caving
  
  If you look at the photographs, you can see the many different activities that we took part in.

   

  We had an amazing time at Robinwood.
  Our excellent group leaders, Kyle, Bob and Adam were so supportive and funny and many of us, with their help, faced our fears, whether it was of heights, water or the dark. We felt so proud of ourselves and couldn't believe what we achieved. 

   

  We all had such an incredible weekend at Robinwood and really didn't want to leave!
  
  Once back at school, we wrote thank you letters to our group leaders and completed large paintings of the activities that we took part in. 
  We think our school displays look great - what do you think?
