• Computing and E-safety Workshop

  Mon 24 Jun 2019

  We held a parent/carer workshop this evening about Computing and E-Safety. It detailed everything we have done this year linked to E-Safety such as launching the mini e-cadets and e-cadets, celebrating Safer Internet Day, launching a whole school poster competition and having ‘One Day Creative’ in school leading interactive and fun sessions about e-safety.

  First of all, we went through useful websites that parents/carers could go to if they needed any support about online safety. After that, the Key Stage One and Reception children shared an e-safety story with their grown up and Key Stage Two children shared some e-safety poetry together. This was brilliant to showcase to parents/carers that learning about how to stay safe online can be done in a fun and safe way.

  After that, we looked at some aspects of Computing. We are really lucky at Colsterworth that we have forty-five iPads to enhance our learning in the curriculum. We looked at apps such as ScratchJr, A.L.E.X, LightBot, BeeBot and BlueBot. These are all programming apps and together we learnt how to do some basic coding and programming. The children were awesome at showing their grownups how to use them!

  Finally, the children got to their show parent/carer their books! The children explained how they use the iPads to enhance their learning and parents/carers enjoyed scanning QR codes so they could watch their children live in action in lessons!

• Class Visits to Our Church

  Tue 18 Jun 2019
  Today each of our classes were invited by Reverend Neil to visit St John the Baptist Church. During the visit we discussed the different festivals and activities that take place in our church and how they connect us all as a community. The children had the opportunity to have a close look at the font and the altar and we even talked through the marriage ceremony. 

  

• Pupils Partake in Piratical Performance

  Thu 13 Jun 2019

  Today, our youngest children donned their pirate costumes, climbed the rigging, scrubbed the decks and embarked on an adventure fit for a pirate captain.

  Sailing the high seas from island to island in search of hidden treasure, they travelled through Polynesia, Antarctica, and to a volcanic island encountering penguins, monkeys and parrots before finally reaching ‘Treasure Island’.

   

  The activities, led by 'Partake Theatre' incorporated a mixture of music, costumes, props, drama, mime and dance to give children an idea of travel, habitats and climates through imaginative and stimulating role-play. 

   

  A fabulous afternoon enjoyed by children and staff alike.
