Team Launch a huge success!
Wed 30 Nov 2022It was all about the elements this week at Colsterworth, as the whole school joined together to compete in their first house team event of the year! Dressed in the house colours, pupils from reception up to year 6 class worked together as one as they took on an exciting range of elements themed activities. From boat building in the water zone to parachute creating in the air zone, the children showed off their true Christian values of friendship, creativity and perseverance as they worked side by side to gain extra points for their house team. The highlight of the day came from an amazing Lego challenge, which saw the teams create their own full Lego village, including cafes, schools & churches, across the school hall. With the lights switched off, the children saw their buildings sparkle and glow as they added their own lights and switches. This day of fabulous fun was a huge success, allowing team work to flourish and creativity to flow.

Back in time to Victorian England
Mon 28 Nov 2022Year 5 enjoyed an immersive day of activities at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse today as they stepped back in time to learn about the life and hardships of people in the Victorian workhouse. The day took a turn however, when they were asked to identify the culprit of a murder! We met four suspects who each told us their stories (and their alibis!) and gave us an insight into their lives in the workhouse.
We had a Victorian school lesson, lent a hand in the kitchen and the laundry room and found out about the jobs that workhouse inmates would have done, all while piecing together the clues hidden in their character profiles.
We had a fantastic day and look forward to continuing our topic work with a Victorian Day in school next week.

There’s No Place Like Home – Katie Morag Enrichment Day
Thu 17 Nov 2022The story character Katie Morag travelled over the seas and across the ocean to arrive at Colsterworth School today where pupils in Year 1 and 2 enjoyed a ‘Katie Morag Day’, based on the popular children’s books by Mairi Hedderwick which are set on the fictional Isle of Struay in Scotland.
The children came dressed in Katie Morag-inspired costumes ready for their fun filled enrichment day. The stormy weather of November provided the perfect backdrop to ignite the children’s imaginations. Creative highlights of the day included: Scottish dancing, researching tartan textile patterns and singing traditional Scottish songs. This cross-curricular day also included geography, computing and English opportunities. The children became weather presenters using Met Office data to plan and present an autumnal weather forecast, used bee-bots to navigate around the Isle of Struay and were author’s writing a ‘Katie Morag’ inspired adventure narrative.
We ended the day by having an extra special story time sharing a variety of Katie Morag stories, which was a perfect way to complete the day.
