Thank you to everyone who participated in our Easter Egg and Bonnet decorating competition. 

As you can see from the photographs below, many wonderful and imaginative entries were submitted. 

A big congratulations to everyone who took part.

The children at Coppull Parish have recently taken part in the World Education Games 2013 competition.

 

The World Education Games is an annual online challenge to give the top students in all schools an opportunity to see how they measure up against the best in the world.
Last year, over 5 million students were a part of what is now the world’s largest online education event.

Over the past few weeks, many children from our school took part and enjoyed playing games that focussed on literacy, mathematics and science.

Here are the children from each class with their certificates for either the highest points gained or the most games played.

 

A HUGE congratulations to everyone who took part in this global event!

Filling the school playground this morning 
were over 200 children (plus members of staff) 
all wearing their favourite pyjamas to celebrate World Book Day!

 

Although it might look like we've had a rather sleepy day, we've all been busy writing exciting stories, exchanging books, making our own books or just enjoying a good read with each other.

 

Our book exchange was a resounding success with many children bringing in books that they no longer read, to exchange for a different one. The children couldn't wait to read their new books in class and have enthusiastically told us how much fun they had, so much so, that we are thinking of making it a more regular event…watch this space!
Thank you so much to everyone who brought books in for this. 

 

Your child should have brought home a £1 book token, which they can exhange for one of the amazing World Book Day Books at any book shop, or even Tesco.

A BIG thank you from all the children in Year 6 and Miss Sharrock, following the cake sale and Penny Collection for The Gambia. 

In just one week, Coppull Parish raised a remarkable £172.48!
Wow!

This money collected will be sent to Bijilo Health Centre in The Gambia, to help refurbish the hospital facilites there.  

Through the cake sale alone, we managed to raise an amazing £91.38!

The class that collected the most pennies was Year 6, who collected an astonishing £30.01 in just one week.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us in this fundraising event - it is much appreciated!

A few weeks ago, five police men and women came into the Year 6 class to give a talk about speeding. They told us about drivers not sticking to the 20mph speed limit
around Coppull... so we had a solution!

 

The questions were:

Coppull Parish Church School has recently received a very special award in recognition of all our good practice in RE and worship.

Thank you to all the staff and children for all their hard work which has contributed towards this amazing achievement. 

Look below for some of the wonderful RE displays around our school this past year!

The children in KS1 have been busy rehearsing for their special Christmas production of 'Bethlehem's Buzzin' over the last few weeks, and this week, the children finally got to share their production with their family and friends here at Coppull Parish.
What a performance!

 

Their acting, singing, and dancing was perfect throughout and they were an absolute credit to our school. We are so proud of all the children in Year 1 and Year 2. Well done!

A special thanks to Miss Green, Miss Chandler, Mrs Lurrie and Mrs Ruler for all for organising such a wonderful production. 

Also, thanks once again for Morris's Bakery for supplying mince pies for the production.

Today Coppull Parish had the amazing opportunity to meet a Paralympian, who managed to win a silver medal in the London 2012 Paralympic Games!

 

Graeme Ballard came into our school earlier on this year, just after he has beaten the world record for the T36 100m sprint at the Paralympic World Cup, in Manchester. He ran the 100m in an impressive 11.98 seconds! Wow! 

He discussed with us back in May, how he hoped to compete in the London 2012 games, but he had a lot of preperations to do before that could happen. Thankfully, all of his efforts and determination paid off and he was able to take part in both the 100m and 200m sprint events.

Ballard won the bronze medal on his Paralympic debut on the 200m track event in Athens but missed out on medals in Beijing.  This year, he managed to win a silver medal in London!  
He ran the race in 12.24 seconds!

It was great to hear about his exercise routine, healthy diet and also to be able to see and hold an Paralympic silver medal! 

Thank you for coming to visit us and congratulations again from all at Coppull Parish.
