• 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!

• Christmas celebrations

  Tue 17 Dec 2019 Louise Jordan

  On Monday 16th December we held our attendance assembly. A huge amount of children received their bronze attendance certificate to show that they have attended school every day since September and are now aiming for their silver certificate in the Easter term. 

   

  Nightingale class won the class attendance award with 97% attendance for the year so far and claimed the £25 Amazon voucher to spend on resources for their class. 

   

  A very excited Alfie-Lee was pulled out of the hat for his 100% attendance. He and his 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!

  

• Choir show they have the Colsterworth WOW factor again!

  Sat 14 Dec 2019

  All I can say is WOW! 

   

  Our amazing choir sang their hearts out today in the final of the Oldrids and Downtown Choir Competition and we could not asked for more from any of our children.  

   

  Their performances of Candlelight Silent Night and We Wish You All A Merry Christmas were perfect and saw us taking the first prize of £500. 

   

  Well done to all those involved and thank you to the parents and carers for supporting this event and bringing your children along to take part.
