  Kids' Club had great fun tonight making fruit kebabs and talking about healthy eating. 

  Luke said "It was great fun and I tried some fruit that I wouldn't normally eat!"

   

  The Kids' Club have introduced new activities and snack options this term. Look out for more exciting updates in the coming weeks.

  Well done to all of our Golden Book children. You have shown us how you use and apply our Christian Values and 3R's in your day to day life at school and at home. You definitely have the Colsterworth WOW Factor. 

  

• 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!

  Wed 09 Oct 2019 Louise Jordan

  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! 

  

• Our Harvest Festival

  Tue 01 Oct 2019 Louise Jordan

  Our Harvest Festival was a celebration and a chance to give thanks. We said thank you to the farmers for their hard work and thank you to God for sending the sun and the rain. We linked our Harvest celebration to our Christian Values of 'creation' and 'perseverance.' We celebrated gathering food, vegetables, crops, fruit and the harvest of the sea.

   

  We also gave our thanks to Reverend Neil for inviting us into the Church, and this reminds Christians of all the good things God gives us and helps us to share with others that are not so fortunate.

   

  Our Harvest offerings this year were donated to the Grantham Food Bank. The children were so proud that their contributions were making a positive impact on someone's life and that because of this they were an agent of change.

• Our Cross Country Runners show they are Body and People Smart!

  Wed 25 Sep 2019

  Over the last three Wednesdays children from our year 5 & 6 class have been showing off their running skills at the Mike Bundy Cross Country event.

  The event saw children from across the South Kesteven area race along a gruelling grass track at the Grantham Meres in both sunshine and showers.

  With over 150 children competing, Colsterworth did themselves proud! Every child showed amazing perseverance and resilience as they ran week after week. Mrs Cornish was delighted to see the fantastic teamwork the children displayed as they cheered each other along and ran alongside the track to motivate those who needed it. Every child succeeded in improving their placing through the week and the sense of personal achievement was amazing, the smiles on all their faces showed it clearly. A big well done to all the children for pushing themselves forwards and working so hard on this challenge.

• Fairytale Magic in Key Stage 1

  Fri 20 Sep 2019

  We had dragons, knights, wolves and princesses roaming the halls today as our youngest children were transported to a fairytale world full of fun. 

   

  They have looked at the 'mirror, mirror on the wall' to talk and write about their characters, created commendable castles and made our story starter sticks to help with our Traditional Tales'

   

   

  

• Making our mark for Democracy Day!

  Thu 19 Sep 2019

  What a start to a new school year!

   

  Thursday 19th September was Democracy Day at Colsterworth CE Primary School and this year our amazing children have really embraced Democracy Day with record numbers putting themselves forward as Student Councillors from Y1 - Y6. Their work and effort was evident as they presented their manifestos to their peers with confidence and enthusiasm.

   

  UNICEF Article 12 states that every child should have their opinion heard, and so everyone was given the opportunity to vote for which child would best represent them as a Student Councillor. They were given a polling card, which they then exchanged for a ballot paper to cast their vote.

   

  The results will be announced in a special assembly on next week, where the children will receive their new badges and be officially sworn in as Student Councillors.

   

  The Student Council will continue to be led by Class Teacher Mrs Emma Helliwell. We are sure you can look forward to future Student Council news.
