As a result of all the Positive Me group's support for the Woodlands Animal Sanctuary this year, we had a lovely visit from them this afternoon - complete with some gorgeous goats! Here are some photographs of the Positive Me group with the volunteers and goats, but lucky children from Reception, Year 1 and 2 were also able to go and pet them. They thoroughly enjoyed it!
A big thank you to the Positive Me group for arranging this for so many of our pupils, and also to Mrs Henrys for all the wonderful work she has done with the Positive Me group this year. Enjoy the goat photos!

On Wednesday afternoon we held our annual Coppull Parish Spelling Bee. A big well done to all the Spelling Bee finalists, it takes a lot of bravery to stand up in front of the whole school and spell tricky words.
A massive well done to our Spelling Bee champion for 2022: Natalia in Year 5! ⭐️ 🐝

Today we had the pleasure of listening to the Coppull Parish Music Concert, which had been organised by Mrs Jones, our music leader. We had amazing performances from our entire Year 4 class, who have been learning the ukulele and played with gusto. We were also treated to an 'award winning' performance by the Coppull Parish choir, led by Mrs Bridge and we also had several children who take music lessons through the Lancashire Music, or private tuition, who wanted to showcase their vocal, or musical talents on the piano. We were also delighted to have several Rocksteady bands performing on drums, electric and bass guitars, keyboards and with some wonderful vocalists. The children performed to a packed hall and impressed us with their confidence, talent and enthusiasm. Here are some photographs of the performances. 

Last Friday, Mrs Bridge and our choir took part in the Last Choir Singing finals at St George's Hall in Blackburn. We were delighted to have got through the heats stage and earn a place in the final, where we knew we would be competing against the nine best schools in the whole of Lancashire. So, as you can imagine, Mrs Bridge and the choir have been working extremely hard and dedicated many more hours to rehearsals to prepare for such a prestigious competition. And guess what? All that hard work and dedication paid off!! After an extremely hard fought battle, against some fabulously talented choirs, we achieved second place (or first runner up) just behind Norbreck Primary school from Blackpool, who were phenomenal on the night. Mrs Bridge, the choir and all the parents who attended the event were absolutely thrilled. We are so very proud of them all. Well done!

We held our Sports Day this morning, and the weather was beautiful - if a little warm to be so active. Every class took part in a carousel of different sporting activities competing for their house teams, before taking part in the individual running races. The House Team winners were: Green (St Patrick) with 161 points, in 2nd place were the Red team (St George) with 160, in 3rd were the Blues (St Andrew) with 156 and the Yellow team (St David) won 147 points - so it was a fiercely fought competition.

The children performed heroically in such warm weather and gave 100% effort. They demonstrated great sportsmanship, cheering one another on and encouraging stragglers to cross that finish line - which everybody did! Well done to Miss Robson, our PE leader, for organizing our first Sports Day post-pandemic, and all the children for throwing themselves into it. Thank you to all the parents who took time out to cheer the children on, and those who were brave enough to take part in the Mums' and Dad's races. Here are some photographs of the carousel of team sports activities, see Class Dojo for photographs of the individual winners.
