• TOP SECRET: A Very Special Visitor...

  Fri 27 Jun 2014

  On Monday 23rd June, we were all amazed when we received a special letter from FIFA regarding the World Cup trophy.

   

  We haven't been able to share this amazing news with you until now, as we were under strict instructions from FIFA to keep it secret!

   

  It's been very difficult to keep it to ourselves but we hope you all understand the security risk involved.

   

  We can tell you though that the cup is making a ‘special journey’ across the world to Brazil ahead of the final match on July the 13th.
  
  It is being 'loaned' to different school across the world and for three days, we were to ‘ADMIRE’ and ‘ASPIRE’ whilst the cup was in our possession.
   

  Unfortunately, and quite worryingly, the cup did go missing overnight! As it was a matter of importance, Mrs Brennan did have to inform FIFA and the police about the disappearance.

   

  To help the police with their investigation, we took photos of the crime scene, made 'missing' posters, gathered evidence on any mysterious events at school that week and wrote evidence sheets on our members of staff.

   

  Thankfully, the thief (who still remains anonymous) handed the World Cup trophy in at Coppull Police Station the following day. Phew!

   

  The police investigation is still open and maybe the thief will get caught eventually....
  Meanwhile, all the children still have their own suspicions as to whom it could be so do ask them about it! I don't think we'll ever forget the time the World Cup came to Coppull Parish!

  

• Y5 & Y6 Orienteering Competition

  Mon 23 Jun 2014

  After school today, 4 children from our school took part in an Orienteering Competition at Gillibrand Primary School. 
  
  In connection with the World Cup currently being held in Brazil, the children had to answer many different questions based on the flags, capital cities of those countries taking part in the 2014 World Cup. 
  They also had to know some extra information about the host cities
  and winners of each World Cup competition.  It was no easy task!

   

  Amazingly, against 5 other schools, Coppull Parish not only did well but actually WON the competition! 
  
  Many thanks to Miss Grimes and Miss Robson for taking the children and supporting them at this event.

  

• Sports Day

  Thu 19 Jun 2014

  Thankfully the rain held off and we were able to hold our annual Sports Day today.
  
  All of the classes had been busy practising for this event and it was such a wonderful morning for everyone involved.

   

  It was great to have so many visitors join us and we hope they enjoyed seeing us try our best at many different activities.

   

  Once all of the result shad been collated, the GREEN team were named as winners of the 2014 Coppull Parish Sport Day.
  
  The children were a credit with their effort and determination, but more importantly their sportmanship throughout.  Well done children!

  

• Commonwealth Games Baton Relay

  Tue 17 Jun 2014

  On Monday 16th June, Coppull Parish took part in the Chorley Sports Partnership Commonwealth Games baton relay. This was held as 2014 sees the games being held in Glasgow.

   

  Many schools in Chorley took part, with each school representing a school that is part of the Commonwealth Games. We represented The Bahamas and during the day we learnt many different facts about this country and the Commonwealth itself.

   

  We received the baton from Coppull Primary School, who represented England, and showed them a big whole-school welcome on the school field.  Representatives from our school then greeted the visitors with a short speech before exchanging batons.

   

  Then, on Tuesday 17th, we took our baton of friendship to All Saints Primary School who represented the country Canada.

   

  We all really enjoyed ourselves and it was great to take part in this event with the different schools.
