• Kingdom group's Fairtrade Week Launch

  Mon 24 Feb 2020 Mrs Bird
  We are celebrating Fairtrade Week at Coppull Parish, and the Kingdom Club, who are trying to turn our world into the Kingdom of God, prepared and delivered an assembly all about Fairtrade to remind our children why we support this initiative in school.  Their assembly was all about the world running out of chocolate because the cocoa farmers weren't receiving enough money to feed their families, or send their children to school. It was a disaster! Fortunately, there is a solution, buy Fairtrade chocolate and it will make cocoa farming sustainable for future generations. So well done to the Kingdom Club for delivering such an important and powerful message. Here are some photographs of their assembly.

  

• Spirituality Week Celebration

  Mon 24 Feb 2020 Mrs Gill

  To end our wonderful spirituality week, we transformed our school hall into a selection of activities. Throughout the week, each class was studying a different religion, learning all about their cultures, festivals and more. Each class created a task, focusing on one aspect of the religion studied, for the rest of the school to carry out.

   

  Reception and Year 1: 

  Reception and Year 1 were studying Buddhism and learned all about how Buddha reached enlightenment by meditating. So they created their own peaceful area for us to meditate in, giving us suggestions of poses whilst listening to beautiful tranquil music.

   

  Year 2

  Year 2 have loved learning all about Islam this week. As well as learning all about the religion traditions, they also focused on the art inspired by Islam. They created an area for us to design and create our own Islamic geometric pattern, the Islamic mandala, by collaging and colouring using the traditional colours.

   

  Year 3

  Year 3 have been learning all about Judaism this week. They have enjoyed learning all about the differences and similarities between symbols in Judaism and Christianity. Their task was to create our own version of the Star of David.

   

  Year 4:

  Year 4 have learned all about the Buddhist New Year festival called Songkran, traditionally people would pour and sprinkle water over each other to signify cleansing and cleaning and a fresh start. After this they would then travel to the nearest river to enjoy paper boat racing. Year 4 set up an activity to create your own paper boat, then blow ‘your troubles away’, pushing your boat along the ‘river’. 

   

  Year 5:

  Year 5 have been learning all about Sikhism this week. They focused on the traditions of the religion and learned all about the different clothing and dress styles. A traditional accessory worn is a Kalgi, a beautiful headpiece, similar to a broach, which is worn at the front of the turban. Their task was to create your own Kalgi, decorating with precious stones or feathers.

   

  Year 6:

  Year 6 have been learning all about Hinduism. A festival they focussed on was the Holi festival, also known as the festival of colours, signifying the start of spring by showering your friends and family with powdered paint. To re create this, the year 6 class created a task based on the technique ‘blow painting’; drawing around your hand and, using bright water colours and water, blowing the paint across your ‘hand’.

   

  Here are a selection of photographs which were taken throughout the day.

  

• Cooking Crazy at Coppull Parish

  Tue 11 Feb 2020 Mrs Bird

  As part of Spirituality Week, each class has been focusing on a major world faith and learning about their beliefs, traditions and culture. As part of this, our children have been studying their festivals and the foods from these different cultures and preparing them and cooking them in class. As a school, one of our Curriculum Drivers is to teach children about healthy eating and how to prepare food and cook it safely, so we have really been able to put all this good learning into practice this week. Here are some photographs of the classes making their delicious food, which will be shared with the rest of the school in our sharing assembly in the afternoon. There are also a couple of photographs of the assembly, showing the judges deliberating over the best dish of the day.

  

• Worship Group assembly

  Tue 11 Feb 2020 Mrs Bird
  This half term, our worship is focused on God's Big Story. So far we have covered the story of Creation and The Fall and are currently learning some of the stories from the People of God section, which focuses on the Old Testament stories. Our Worship Group chose to lead an assembly on David and Goliath today, to teach everyone that if you trust in God, anything is possible - even defeating an enormous warrior giant!! The children did a dramatic performance of the story, then finished with a prayer and a hymn. Well done to the Worship Group for your efforts!
