  Thu 23 Apr 2026

  Reception were thrilled to take part in their very first PE session with Kane from Inspire+. The children showed great enthusiasm as they headed outside to enjoy their games session.  Kitten Class practised listening carefully, following instructions, and working together while developing their coordination and confidence through fun activities. It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces as the children got active and tried something new. We’re already looking forward to the next session!

• Learning is Fun as a Family

  Tue 21 Apr 2026

  Children in Reception and Year 1 recently enjoyed taking part in our Family Learning sessions alongside their grown-ups. Over the course of two sessions, families came together to explore the importance of healthy habits in a fun and engaging way. In the first session, children created their own “edible plates,” learning about balanced diets and making healthy food choices. This week, they completed their learning by focusing on safe food preparation skills. The children practised careful cutting techniques before making a delicious yogurt, cucumber, and mint dip, served with neatly prepared pepper and carrot sticks. It was wonderful to see the children and their families learning together, building confidence, and developing practical skills to support healthy lifestyles at home.

• Tigers Head Back in Time at Flag Fen

  Fri 13 Mar 2026

  Year 3/4 Tigers had a wonderful visit to Flag Fen Archaeological site to enhance their knowledge of prehistory, specifically focusing on the Stone Age. They had great fun examining artefacts, exploring houses and creating beautiful clay pots and rock art. The sun shone and the children enjoyed working and learning outdoors- they represented the school brilliantly and their newfound knowledge will definitely help them with in class learning. 

  

• Delicious pizza – what a treat!

  Wed 11 Mar 2026

  Leopard Class recently took part in a fun DT lesson all about pizza. We learned about where pizza originally came from and discussed the difference between processed and unprocessed foods. The children then created their own pizzas, choosing tasty toppings such as mozzarella cheese, ham, olives and mushrooms. After cooking, everyone enjoyed tasting and evaluating their pizzas. Next, the children took on the challenge of designing the ultimate pizza – and the Leopard Class had some super suggestions. Delicious! 

  

• Golden Time Easter Cards

  Thu 05 Mar 2026

  Golden Time was bursting with creativity as the children enthusiastically took part in designing and creating beautiful Easter cards for the local parish church Easter card competition.

  Using pastels, paint and watercolours, the children carefully sketched their ideas before transforming them into vibrant, eye-catching designs. From thoughtful symbols of Easter to bright spring scenes, each card was filled with imagination, colour and wonderful attention to detail.

  The standard of artwork was truly impressive, and the children should be very proud of the effort, care and creativity they demonstrated throughout the project.

  Well done to everyone who took part – your hard work really shone through!

• Three Years on Top: Colsterworth Shines at Performing Arts Festival

  Fri 27 Feb 2026

  The Colsterworth Festival of Performing Arts proved to be another outstanding occasion for our school, filled with achievement and celebration. We were delighted to return home with two trophies, a joint first, and the Growler Shield for Best Overall Performance for the third consecutive year.

  The children approached every element of the festival with focus and determination. Their preparation was evident throughout, from their careful delivery of words and harmonies to the confidence they showed in presenting themselves as a unified group.

  Our Year 6 Jaguar Class opened the programme with a thoughtful and courageous presentation. Singing both individually and in small groups, they showcased an arrangement they had developed themselves, drawing on their recent learning in music. Their performance of ‘The Wellerman’ provided a rousing start to the day.

  The momentum continued with our Key Stage 2 performers, whose energy and concentration made a strong impact in the beautiful setting of St John’s Church, Grantham. The adjudicator highlighted their performance as “…a magical moment where seventy-seven voices sounded like one” securing the Growler Shield for the day’s best performance.

  Taking part in the festival alongside other schools offered the children a valuable opportunity to experience a wide variety of musical styles and to appreciate the richness of live performance.

  We would like to thank the Colsterworth Festival Committee for hosting the event, Mrs Bidwell from the Lincolnshire Music Service for her work with Year 6 on their performance, and Mrs Dawes for her continued leadership of singing within our school. Their combined efforts contributed significantly to a smooth and successful day for all involved.
