Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Today, our youngest children donned their pirate costumes, climbed the rigging, scrubbed the decks and embarked on an adventure fit for a pirate captain.
Sailing the high seas from island to island in search of hidden treasure, they travelled through Polynesia, Antarctica, and to a volcanic island encountering penguins, monkeys and parrots before finally reaching ‘Treasure Island’.
The activities, led by 'Partake Theatre' incorporated a mixture of music, costumes, props, drama, mime and dance to give children an idea of travel, habitats and climates through imaginative and stimulating role-play.
A fabulous afternoon enjoyed by children and staff alike.
Hawking and Faraday class were transported into the world of Harry Potter today. The hall was transformed into Hogwarts and after entering through Platform 9¾ the children were sorted into the four houses by the Sorting Hat. They made potions, wands and writing quills and had a chance to write with some mysterious ink. There were even some chocolate frogs hopping around! Overall, a fabulous day with the Colsterworth WOW Factor enjoyed by all!
Today all of our children took part in age related e-safety activities and workshops using drama and discussion to remind them of the dangers and the strategies for keeping themselves and others safe online.
As their term 5 reward day, our Key Stage 2 children have taken part in crime scene investigation training provided by 'Zakon Training'. They have collected DNA swabs, taken fingerprints and investigated a real crime scene. We definitely have some budding police officers in the making!
Colsterworth hosted a Sports extravaganza today wowing the crowds of parents and carers with our enthusiasm and energy.
The day began with our wonderful year 6 sports ambassadors leading the whole school out on to the field to the applause of our waiting crowd. After an opening ceremony led by the high flying antics of the school’s cheerleading squad the children joined their house teams to take part in a fast paced circuit of sporting activities. With fantastic cheers from our parents and carers, the children dribbled hockey balls, squeezed through hoola hoops and sprung forwards in the standing long jump.
After a refresh at lunch time, the children returned to the field to show off their competitive edge in the individual races. As the bunting flapped in the breeze, the parents and carers returned in force to enjoy the gorgeous sunny weather while cheering all of our children on. Each child worked their hardest to speed along in both a novelty race and a flat sprint while the other children showed great sportsmanship in willing them on. After egg & spoon races, speedy sprints and a very close called relay, the children proudly wore their ribbons to hear the results of the day’s events. At the end of the day, once our cheerleading squad had the opportunity to wave their pom-poms once more, Witham house were announced the team winners!
All in all the day was an amazing, sunny, energetic and honking success. With a combination of fantastic parent & carer support, wonderful hardworking staff and most of all energetic, happy children we had our best Sports Day to date!
