Cath Greenlees visited Coppull Parish this week to tell the children all about the work of Fairtrade, which aims to give a fair deal to farmers around the world. She explained that by purchasing products with the Fairtrade logo on, we will helping poorer communities and ensuring that farmers get paid a minimum of £2.50 a day - which still doesn't seem much, but is a marked increase on what they were receiving previously. Cath then led workshops throughout the Juniors, before meeting with the Ethos group at lunchtime, to tell them a little bit about becoming a 'Fairtrade School'. The Ethos group feel quite strongly about supporting this cause and tackling poverty in these farming communities worldwide, so will be putting a case forward to the school's Governing Body to see if this is possible. Here are some photographs from the visit.
Four lucky children from our Ethos group were chosen to attend the annual Ethos Conference at St James' C of E Primary at Chorley this week. They took part in lots of fantastic, engaging activities, which taught them more about the Bible, Jesus and God. All four of them had a great time, made new friends and learned new things. They were also wonderful representatives for the school: well done Tara, Faye, Daisy and Ava, you have made us very proud.
Our Eco-Council, led by Miss Grimes, have been busy recycling used Christmas cards and recycling and re-using them for craft activities. As a result of this initiative, they have won a Lancashire Recycling competition and Coppull Parish have been given 10 lovely, wooden stools for the school. A photographer from Lancashire County Council came into school and took photographs of our Eco-Council and their prize, as they are sending this good news story to the Lancashire Post and the Chorley Guardian, so we may be in the news! Well done Eco-Councillors and Miss Grimes!
