• Kingdom Club update

  Tue 21 Jan 2020 Mrs Bird
  Following on from our Animal Rescue assembly this morning, the Kingdom Club met with Michael Jones from the charity to discuss ways that they can support his team with their worthwhile work, whilst also improving the lives of animals in our community.  It is part of our mission as a school to create courageous Christians, who try to improve the lives of everyone in our local area, the wider community and worldwide and everything in it. After a discussion with Michael, the Kingdom Club have decided to raise funds for the Animal Rescue Centre by creating a pet bakery stall, selling healthy snacks for pets in our school community and sending them the profits. They are also going to organize a sponsored dog walk, later in the school year, to reinforce the need for exercising our pets, whilst raising funds for the centre. The Kingdom Club are very excited about their forthcoming projects and having a chance to make a difference to their world. 

  

• Animal Rescue Assembly

  Tue 21 Jan 2020 Mrs Bird
  Today we were visited by Michael Jones from the Animal Rescue Centre in Lancaster, who led an assembly (with Oatie, a rescued Border Collie) telling the children all about how to be safe around animals, how to be a responsible pet owner and all about the work of the Animal Rescue Centre. The children were incredibly interested in learning all about his work and loved the opportunity to meet Oatie. Our Kingdom Club had sent out an appeal beforehand to ask for donations for the Animal Rescue Centre and Michael was delighted by our generous gifts. So a big thank you is needed to the Kingdom Club for arranging this visit and to Michael and all his team for their excellent work protecting vulnerable animals in our society. Michael wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who was able to donate foodstuffs for the centre, as the need is always there.

  

• Islam Assembly

  Tue 07 Jan 2020 Mrs Bird
  We were delighted to welcome Imran Kotwal to Coppull Parish today to provide our children and families with an introduction to the Islamic faith and to discuss the British Values of tolerance and respect. Imran is a British Muslim from Bolton, who delivers assemblies and workshops for the Muslim Learners Service. He brought along a lot of religious artefacts which helped him to explain the 5 Pillars of Islam to our pupils, staff and parents. Then he asked a lot of questions, to check we had been listening carefully ..... and we had!!! We remembered that the 5 Pillars were: belief in God; prayer (5 x a day); charity; fasting (during Ramadan) and Pilgrimage (Hajj). Everyone was really interested to learn more about the Islamic faith and get to meet someone from the Muslim community, which is great news, because we are inviting Imran back later in the year to work with some of our classes and look at Islam in more depth as part of our Religious Education and PSHE curriculum.
