• Geography Quiz

  Tue 20 Mar 2018 Mrs Bird
  Miss Grimes, our Geography leader, organizes a quiz at the end of each term to test the children's knowledge and understanding of the continent we have been studying as part of our Geography curriculum. This term our children have enjoyed learning all about Asia and were delighted to have the opportunity to showcase this knowledge in a Geography team challenge this morning. They answered 20 questions about the continent of Asia, ranging from different flags and currencies, human and physical features, different languages, traditional foods and many more aspects of this diverse continent. The children were organized into mixed teams of children from Reception to Year 6 and worked brilliantly together to answer the questions. Miss Grimes threw in a few 'bonus' questions, which even stretched some of the adults in the room, so that all children were fully challenged. Have a look at the photographs of the quiz in action and you can also see a picture of the winning team. Well done to Miss Grimes for organizing it all, the children for learning so much and the winning team for doing so well.

  

• Primary Science Team Challenge

  Mon 19 Mar 2018 Mrs Bird
  Coppull Parish were delighted to be invited to take part in a Primary Science Team Challenge competition at Charnock Richard C of E Primary this afternoon. The four children completed several practical scientific challenges throughout the afternoon and then took part in a Science Quiz, which involved recognizing famous scientists, birds, identifying planets and answering tricky questions from the Year 3 to Year 6 curriculum. Emily, Billie-Jo, Alfie and Oliver supported each other through all the challenges and worked well as a team. By the end of the afternoon they had won 3rd place, which was a real achievement. They were excellent ambassadors for the school and made us all very proud. Well done!

  

• Last Choir Singing Competition

  Mon 19 Mar 2018 Mrs Bird
  Mrs Bridge took our newly formed choir to Westfield School at Blackburn on Saturday evening to take part in the Last Choir Singing competition. It was a fantastic event. The standard was extremely high and we were proud to be competing against some long established and very experienced choirs from all over Lancashire. Although they were not placed this year, our choir sang beautifully and made us all incredibly proud of their confident and powerful performance. Well done to Mrs Bridge and all members of the choir for the excellent progress they have made since forming in September. 

  

• Coppull Parish KS2 Sports Pentathalon

  Fri 16 Mar 2018 Mrs Bird

  All of our KS2 children have taken part in a Sports Pentathalon organized by Chorley Schools Sports Partnership today. They have been developing their skills at long jump, throwing, hurdles, speed bounce and standing still jumps. This is the second time they have completed this activity this year, so we are looking forward to finding out who has made great improvements. Well done everyone for all your efforts!

  Here are some photographs of the Year 3 children taking part.

  

• Dan Worsley the author visits Coppull Parish

  Thu 08 Mar 2018 Mrs Bird
  After a treacherous journey to school through driving snow, Dan Worsley, the author, arrived accompanied by a large cutout figure of Eric Appleby (star of 'Zero to Hero') underneath his arm. After explaining how he became a children's author and sharing the writing process with the children, he told a highly entertaining story entitled 'A pat on the head', which amused the audience no end. He then spent the rest of the morning leading writing workshops in Year 5 and 6. The teachers and children had a brilliant morning and have produced some excellent writing, some of which will feature on Dan's website (danworsley.com). Here are some photographs from the assembly, but I am sure that teachers will be uploading the photographs taken in class onto Class Dojo too.

  

• Drama at Coppull Parish

  Mon 05 Mar 2018 Mrs Bird
  As part of Book Week, we invited a drama company into school to work with Year 3 and 4 on the Iron Man - as this was their Literacy focus last term. Both classes participated in lots of different drama activities, gained a deeper insight into the characters in the book and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. As you can see from the photographs of Year 4.
