Our Kingdom Club have been working really hard to promote Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight and this has culminated in fabulous Friday when they hosted a Fairtrade coffee morning and Bake Off competition.

We were all so impressed by the number of entries in our Fairtrade Bake Off competition: we had small cakes, biscuits, tray bakes and huge gateaux, baked by both adults and children. Cath Greenlees had a wonderful time taste testing them all, and was unable to choose just one winner. So we decided to select one adult and two children to win the Fairtrade chocolate Easter eggs. The winners are Zachary's (Year 1) grandmother, Harvey (Year 3) and Josie and Eliza who are sisters in Year 1 & 2. Well done to you all.

Well done in particular to the children in the Kingdom Club who planned and organized the event, because of their commitment to making Coppull Parish a Fairtrade school that challenges injustice in the world and supports Fairtrade farmers.

Here are some pictures of the event.

World Book Day 2022

Our theme for this year was ‘A world of words’ as we really wanted to enrich the children’s vocabulary, get them to tackle more ambitious books and use more adventurous vocabulary choices in their writing. All the children and staff came in dressed as a word. We had so many great ideas: scientist, graceful, mysterious, artistic! You all looked amazing. We were visited on the Wednesday by local author Gemma Lees who read her book to KS1 then went and visited individual classes where we created our very own Ethan Elephant picture book! On World Book Day author Dan Worsley visited the whole school and told us a hillarious story called 'A Pat on the Head'. Dan then went and worked with KS2 classes inspiring them to create their own pieces of writing.

Some classes went to visit Coppull Library and got to scan out their friends books like a real librarian would. There was all sorts of wonderful book and vocabulary themed learning going on around school, from 'Booknics' to reading scavenger hunts. We even created our own class photo dictionaries using photos of ourselves dressed up as a word!

 Sadly, due to the pandemic we haven't been able to use our school Reading Shed for quite a while. However, Covid-19 restrictions have now been lifted, so we have spruced up the Reading Shed and it is a wonderful, relaxing environment for getting lost in a good book.

On World Book Day we will be re-launching the Reading Shed and timetabling each class on a weekly rota to use this fabulous facility. Children will be able to get comfy on a beanbag during playtimes, and chill out with some amazing books, or even share one of our big books with a friend!
