• Acknowledging our Outstanding 'Agents of Change'

  Fri 07 Feb 2020

  Here at Colsterworth C of E Primary School we endeavour to empower our children and staff to make a difference in our school, our community and out in the world. There are many reasons why our children and staff are 'Agents of Change' and we celebrate each and every one of their efforts and roles in making our school a safe and engaging place to work and learn for all.

   

  Some of our children go above and beyond to help others and have been awarded the 'Agent of Change' star.

   

  At Christmas time, Rhys (Y6) organised a Foodbank collection by writing to Reverend Neil and setting it up in school. His appeal collected 78kg of food which was distributed to over 40 families over the Christmas period. 

   

  Alfie (Y4) lives and breathes our school ethos and makes a difference to the lives of his friends, classmates and our school community on a daily basis by ensuring that we remember to follow our Christian Values, our 3 Rs and reminding us to 'Fly like the Geese'.

   

  Both boys really are 'Superstar Agents of Change' and we thank them for really having the Colsterworth WOW Factor.

  

• Nightingale fly 'Into the Unknown'

  Tue 04 Feb 2020

  Nightingale shot off Into the Unknown for their wonderful class assembly. The parents/carers had to decide which explorer they thought was the most courageous and they had paddles to vote at the end. The children used their learning to re-tell the lives of Neil Armstrong and Christopher Columbus and parents/carers chose Neil Armstrong as the bravest explorer. Niomi and Lewis read a lovely prayer at the end about having courage to follow your dreams and the perseverance to carry on. We finished by singing A Million Dreams as we know these children are going to grow up to do something amazing in this world and be agents of change!

• Sarah Outen shows us how to be Courageous and to Persevere!

  Thu 16 Jan 2020

  British athlete and adventurer Sarah Outen visited us today to help us to understand the importance of having courage to try new things, to have new adventures and to persevere and strive to be the best we can be.

   

  Sarah is a motivational speaker in the UK and internationally. She was the first woman and the youngest person to row solo across the Indian Ocean and also the Pacific Ocean from Japan to Alaska.

   

  The children were enthralled by the stories of her adventures and were full of well thought out questions for the world-travelled visitor. 

   

  We look forward to having courage and persevering in everything we do in and out of school. 

  

• Roots to Food Spice Up Our Learning

  Mon 13 Jan 2020

  The children had a fantastic day today with Darren from 'Roots to Food' and really enjoyed sampling their creations.

   

  Children from year 2 to Year 6 created Japanese Teriyaki Chicken with Bombay Potatoes and it was a real hit across the school. 

   

  Split into groups, the children chop, steam, marinade, fry and mix to create a new dish which they can then recreate at home with their families.

   

  The school smelled fantastic.

  

• Paralympian Jonathan Broom-Edwards visits Colsterworth

  Fri 10 Jan 2020

  Colsterworth proudly welcomed Paralympic athlete Jonathan Broom-Edwards into school today. After sharing with us his recent battles with injury and his continuing perseverance leading to success in the world championships in November, Jonathan led the children in learning about body language. Jonathan and his mascot, Torch, asked the children to reflect upon how their own body language demonstrates their feelings. Linking to our school wellbeing collective worship earlier in the week, the children were able to explain how they feel in response to different situations and how their body language shows this. To round up his talk Jonathan led the children in performing a 'power pose' to use at times when they are feeling less confident and are in need of some courage. Look out for power poses around the school!
