• Kindness Club Spread Christmas Cheer

  Thu 29 Dec 2022

  Kindness Club definitely spread some Christmas cheer this year.  Daisy in Year 6 had the fabulous idea of creating 'Kindness Baskets' to share with the local residents and the club soon got to work assembling them.  Each basket consisted of a selection of goodies: a book, soap, candles, puzzles etc.  Kindness Club wrapped up warm and set off on their journey to deliver the baskets which were, as you can imagine, all gratefully received!

  

• Christmas Celebrations

  Fri 16 Dec 2022

  We held our attendance assembly this afternoon. A huge amount of children received their bronze attendance certificates to show that they have attended school every day since September and are now aiming for their silver certificate in the Easter term. 

   

  A very excited Rose was pulled out of the hat for her 100% attendance. She and her family won the Christmas hamper to celebrate the festive season. 

   

  Attendance is very important to our children and this term's attendance assembly showed how dedicated our children and their parents and carers are!

• What an Inspiration!

  Mon 12 Dec 2022

  Today we were lucky enough to be joined by Paralympic athlete Sam Ruddock who came to share his story with us. Through his sporting journey, we learnt the importance of hydration, sleep and having an organised plan to help us work towards our targets. It was amazing to have Sam in school to allow us a chance to reflect upon how our focus can become distracted in life and stop us from achieving our goals. We saw the success Sam achieved following his tips as he showed off his gold cycling medal - what an inspiration! 

  

• Veni, Vidi, Vici

  Fri 02 Dec 2022

  On a cold Friday in December, the children of Toucan class at Colsterworth Primary School were transported to Ancient Rome for a day of historical enrichment activities. Edible roads were made (and eaten) from different types of biscuits, the traditional pauper dish of pottage was planned, made and eaten and finally the children explored a range of artefacts developing their enquiry and questioning skills. All of this amazing learning took place whilst dressed as a Roman. The classroom was full of gladiators, soldiers, Gods and Goddesses. The children certainly came, saw and conquered their Roman day.

  

• Team Launch a huge success!

  Wed 30 Nov 2022

  It 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 2022

  Year 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.
