• Colsterworth has the Eco Wow Factor!

  Fri 13 Dec 2024

  The Eco Warriors have received their third Eco award.  It was an amazing year for, not only the eco team but all the children and staff, to put our school, local and wider environment at the forefront. Our Green Flag is displayed with pride on our Eco Board and this year it will be joined by a Green Flag plaque.

  The Green Flag campaign is a nationwide campaign which allows schools to to showcase their environmental work both within the curriculum and beyond.  Once schools apply they may be awarded a Green Flag or a Green Flag with Merit or Distinction. The team reading our application wrote:

  Congratulations!!! Your school has truly gone above and beyond to make environmental education engaging for young people. Environmental education in your school is practical and engaging, empowering young people with the knowledge they need to confidently discuss and address ecological issues. It has been an absolute joy assessing your application and learning about the impact you’ve had, not only on our planet but also on the young people you work with every day. We can’t emphasize this enough—take great pride in your achievements, and congratulations on your Eco-Schools’ Green Flag with Distinction 2024!

  A huge thank you to everyone involved.  

  The Eco Warriors have a busy 2025 ahead!

  

• Reading Wins!

  Wed 11 Dec 2024

  Over the summer holidays, Lincolnshire library services ran a reading challenge to inspire young people to read more. Anyone who completed the challenge of reading six books in six weeks was entered into a prize draw. 

   

  Primrose in Year 3 read over 20 books during her summer break, visiting the library every week and was lucky enough to be pulled out of the hat as the winner. She received a £10 book token voucher to buy more books to continue her reading journey.

  

• Artists Win Card Competition

  Wed 11 Dec 2024

  One of the Golden Time activities this term focused on sketching, designing, and creating Christmas cards, and it was a resounding success! The children approached the challenge with great enthusiasm, demonstrating incredible commitment and artistic flair throughout the process. Each design captured the festive spirit and showcased the Colsterworth "Wow factor," with every piece reflecting the children’s dedication to producing high-quality and thoughtful artwork.

  We are absolutely delighted to share that Millie, a Year 6 pupil, was selected as the overall prize winner. Her outstanding design has been professionally printed and will be distributed to homes across the parish, spreading Christmas cheer far and wide. We also extend our congratulations to Penny from Year 4, whose creative and beautifully crafted design was chosen as the winner for her age category.

  A huge well done to all the children who participated in this activity. Their hard work and creativity shone through, and every design was a testament to their imagination and artistic skills.

  We are so proud of their achievements!

• The Nativity - Wow! That was very special indeed.

  Tue 10 Dec 2024

  Kittens and Bobcats have worked so hard and been so motivated to learn lines, songs and stage directions and then on Tuesday 10th December they put it all together and sang, spoke and performed with such confidence - it was phenomenal.

  A massive well done to all our sparkling Angels, cosy by the fire Shepherds, grazing Sheep, 3 independent female Kings, helpful Servants, trusted Camels, thoughtful Innkeepers and their Wives (who absolutely knew what to do in an emergency!), fierce Soldiers, our shining Star, scary Herod, strong Guards and finally our Mary, Joseph and their Donkey. Without them all showing courage and perseverance ‘The Nativity’ would not have shone as brightly as it did.

  Fri 06 Dec 2024
