• Sensational Celebration of Harvest

  Wed 12 Oct 2022

  Today saw the return of our Harvest Festival in church. Children from Year 1 to 6 worked hard to showcase their God Given Talents in order to share the meaning of harvest with friends and family. It was a joy to celebrate in a variety of new and exciting ways which embodied our Christian Value of Creativity.

  Goldfinch Class wowed us with their performance and amazing artwork to show the harvest rainbow.

  The Toucans used their music lessons to provide us with an insight into harvest in Africa by playing a call and response on the djembe drums.

  Teal Class performed a harvest rap which included lines from a traditional harvest song but gave it a modern twist while the Hummingbirds spoke with confidence and flare using the letters from the word Harvest to remind us that it is a fantastic time to share with others.

  Collective Worship representative Florence said "We donate food to help others because harvest is a time for sharing. In church we shared things other than food including our God Given Talents."

  We also asked our parents and carers to reflect on our Harvest worship. You can see a couple of their responses below along with the phenomenal amount of food which was donated by our families this year.

• Sci-fest at Colsterworth

  Wed 05 Oct 2022

  An exciting afternoon of science and circus happened for the whole school today. Linked to the Bourne Sci-fest Week, Dr Ken came with armfuls of juggling equipment, unicycle and science paraphernalia to give a show about forces. We learned lots and consolidated our understanding of gravity, gyroscopic forces and equal and opposite reactions all through the fun of circus tricks.

• Wonderful Woolsthorpe Manor

  Tue 04 Oct 2022

   

  On Tuesday 4^th October, the Goldfinch class were invited to the inspiring Woolsthorpe Manor to travel back into time to learn all about the inspirational Isaac Newton.

  The warm autumn sun was shining and the children had the most magnificent day taking the role of an historian, scientist and an artist.

  Our learning adventure began with a thought-provoking tour of the beautiful house. The children used their history skills to make observations, ask questions and make comparisons between life today and in the past.

  The next activity we learnt about Newton the scientist and had tremendous fun in the science discovery centre where the children enjoyed the interactive science experiments.

  After a quick bite to eat for lunch we took a stroll in the stunning grounds. We spotted the world-famous apple tree and we all choose an Isaac Newton apple to take home.

  Wow! What an amazing experience celebrating the life and legacy of Isaac Newton an experience the children will remember for a very long time.

• Democracy Week

  Thu 22 Sep 2022

  We marked our Democracy Day 2022, at Colsterworth Primary School, this week. The children had opportunity to vote at our polling station today. We started this important event with a collective worship all about the core British value of democracy. The children know the importance of having the right to have their voice heard. We take great pride at Abbey Academies in our democratic election process, which enables every child to vote for their chosen representatives who will form the incoming Council for the year ahead. There were also many other school roles to vote for on the day. The children throughout the week held hustings in their classes, to garner support for their manifestos.

  The votes were counted on the day and with great excitement, the results of the elections were announced in a special celebration assembly. The successful candidates were awarded their badges.

  “Every year the children who want to stand for council, confidently put themselves forward. It is wonderful to see the children’s enthusiasm for this important democratic process, which they take very seriously. It gives me great pride to see how respectful all the children are to see their democratic right put into practice and the rights of every child in school to have a voice is relevant. It is a skill that they will use in their future lives.”

  We are excited to see what new ideas are going to be brought to our Student Council meetings this year!
