• Pudsey Fun for Children In Need

  Fri 15 Nov 2019

  Our children have had an amazing day raising money for Children in Need today. Pudsey and Blush have been spotted in every classroom and the children have enjoyed learning obout why, when and how Children in Need was started.

   

  The whole school took part in the Big Morning Workout with Joe Wicks.

   

  Our older children in Lister had a very fun and informative day learning all about the origins and purposes of Children in Need.  Mrs Croxall set us a challenge to produce an article about an aspect of Children in Need and to present it in an original way.  We could use film, PowerPoint, Keynote, Clips, PicCollage, make a poster or create a fact sheet.  Everyone was impressed by our originality and knowledge! Head over the the Lister Class Page to check out what they have been up to.

   

   

  

• Remembering the Fallen

  Mon 11 Nov 2019

  At 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month the pupils and staff at Colsterworth School fell silent to remember all those who have given their lives in war and conflict. We held an Act of Remembrance in the church and gave thanks to all the men and women who gave their lives so that we can live the lives we have today. 

   

  'They will grow not old as we who are left grow old.

  Age will not weary them nor the years condemn.

  At the going down of the sun and in the morning

  We will remember them.'

   

  Mrs Jordan and many of our pupils also took part in the Colsterworth Festival of Remembrance on Sunday 10th November laying a wreath on the memorial in the village.

   

  Children also created poppies which have been displayed in the church throughout the festival.

  

• Pizza Party at Kids' Club

  Thu 07 Nov 2019

  Tonight Kids' Club had a blast creating their own pizzas using oven bottom muffins and a selection of toppings. 

   

  Oliver said "The pizzas were amazing, they tasted truly splendid on my tongue. I hope we can make them again soon!"

   

  Fruit kebabs were also on the menu to ensure that all dietary requirements were catered for. 

   

  We are really enjoying our new snack options and activities and hope to introduce new things regularly to encourage more children to use the provision.

• What an awesome week we've had!

  Fri 01 Nov 2019

  We have all returned this week ready and raring to go after our half term break. The children have really engaged with the idea of being an 'Agent of Change' and have come back with a renewed vision and enthusiasm to make a difference to themselves and others within our school, our community and in our world. 

   

  Nightingale class received a letter on the first day back. It was from a girl with a red chalk! They discovered this amazing picture book and decided on their own words for the story. 

   

  Year 5 learnt a new method for multiplying two digit numbers together and this afternoon Mrs Moore illuminated our world with some reminders about firework safety.

• Lister Class show Respect and Reverence at Beth Shalom Holocaust Centre

  Fri 11 Oct 2019

  Today Lister Class were incredibly lucky to go back in time and immerse themselves in some truly devastatingly emotional times-World War 2. We learned
  all about a young Jewish boy called Leo and his battles against antisemitism and the discrimination of certain people. We investigated the events of that awful night on the 9th November 1938 - Kristallnacht- The Night
  Of Broken Glass.

   

  Our children showed great compassion and maturity in their learning and a great depth of knowledge about the topic. Their Colsterworth WOW factor was evident in the respect that they showed to the staff, each other and to the visit as a whole. 

  

• Agents of Change!

  Following on from our Harvest Festival donations the school received a certificate to thank them for their contributions. 

  Reverend Neil said ‘This is a wonderful effort made by all the children and is clearly very much appreciated by the Foodbank, and by those who receive the food from them.’

  Our amazing children really are Agents of Change!
