Willoughby Art
Wed 06 Nov 2024Each year, the children of Colsterworth Primary School have the wonderful opportunity to display their God-given Art talents in the Willoughby Art Competition, a local event run by the Willoughby Memorial Trust Gallery in Corby Glen. This competition offers a space for our children to be creative, imaginative, and to shine in their art skills.
With last term’s Christian value focused on Creation and Creativity, we are thrilled to share some exciting news! Four of our incredible students have achieved remarkable success in this year’s competition. Through their dedication, imagination, and “Art Smarts,” they have shown us the beauty and inspiration they are capable of bringing into the world:
In Class 1 Age Group:
Highly Commended: Alice
3rd Prize: Oscar
In Class 2 Age Group:
2nd Prize: Tilly
Highly Commended: Oscar
Their artwork, along with selections from across the county, is now proudly on display at the Willoughby Memorial Trust Gallery until November 22nd. On this date, a special prize-giving ceremony will be held to honour their achievements, where each of the children, accompanied by two guests, will receive their prizes and certificates from the competition judges.
The children’s artwork has brightened our community, adding beauty, joy, and colour. This accomplishment marks the beginning of their artistic journey, and with their faith and talent, we know they will continue to flourish and create wonders. This is a true Colsterworth Primary WOW moment, and we look forward to seeing what amazing creations these talented young artists will bring to life next!

Remember Remember
Fri 01 Nov 2024We have delivered our annual firework safety worship this afternoon to the children from Years 1 to 6.
Mrs Moore and Mrs Jordan reminded the children about the history of Bonfire Night and about the Firework Code. Some of our children then had the chance to show us, wearing gloves and under adult supervision, how to safely use a sparkler.
In 1605, a group of Catholics plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London with King James I inside and take control of the country. The leader of the plot was Robert Catesby and the man in charge of lighting the fuse was Guy Fawkes, who put 36 barrels of gunpowder in a cellar underneath Parliament.
One of the plotters wrote to a friend, Baron Monteagle, to warn him about the plot - the letter reached the King. The Kings' men searched the cellars under Parliament and found Guy Fawkes, dressed in a cloak and hat, with the barrels of gunpowder. He was arrested and tortured until he told the names of the other plotters.
Robert Catesby and several others were found guilty and sentenced to death. the Plot had failed.
Soon afterwards, bonfires and fireworks were lit every 5th November and still happen today.
Remember, remember

We Will Remember Them
Tue 29 Oct 2024Our Arts Ambassadors were invited to visit Colsterworth Church, where they proudly displayed an inspiring collection of poppies in honor of Remembrance. The display is a vibrant array of colour, featuring striking red and purple poppies crafted with a variety of media—from paint and pastels to textured paper and gemstones. Each piece reflects the children’s thoughtful engagement with Christian values, symbolizing remembrance, peace, and hope. Their artwork brings a powerful message to the church, creating a moving tribute that resonates with everyone who visits. A special thank to Mrs Bevan and Mrs Dawes who accompanied the children to the church and helped the children in creating a stunning and thought provoking poppy display.
