• Brilliant Bronze Ambassadors lead the way!

  Tue 19 Mar 2019
  This week at Colsterworth our year 5 and 6 Bronze Sports Ambassadors have led the school in celebrating the Inspire+ Legacy tour. On Tuesday morning Jen, Max, Lilia and James,the four young leaders, welcomed representatives from the Inspire+ sports charity and Buckminster Primary School to join us in collective worship.
  Proudly leading collective worship by themselves, the Bronze Ambassadors encouraged our children to think about their personal mental wellbeing and how being physically active can really improve this. The school eagerly shared ways they stay fit outside of school including swimming, walking and dancing and the sports ambassadors told pupils to "keep their eyes peeled" for a new sports display showcasing all our in and out of school clubs and activities.
  The inspirational Legacy tour continued on Wednesday as Sports Ambassador Jen travelled to Corby Glen Primary School to pass on the fabulous tennis 'baton' and share our schools well being pledge. Jen bravely spoke to the whole school telling them "At Colsterworth we pledge to improve our mental well being and sportsmanship through working together as a school."
  What fantastic young leaders we have supporting our sporting values at Colsterworth!

• Giving thanks on Shrove Tuesday

  Tue 05 Mar 2019 Rev. Neil

  It was lovely to be able to share cakes with the children, parents, carers and teachers, after school on Shrove Tuesday. As Christians we believe everything we have is a gift from God and we are called to give thanks. At the beginning of Lent we are offering cake to help us to give thanks to God for all that we have received and to encourage each other to be generous too.

  

• Shrove Tuesday and Lent Collective Worship

  Tue 05 Mar 2019

  Our children came together on Tuesday morning for a wonderfully inclusive Collective Worship exploring the meaning of Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) and Lent.

   

  This is an important time of year for Christians. it reminds them of when Jesus was in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights without food. It was an important time and place for Jesus as he prepared for his work of healing and teaching. It was important that he was somewhere on his own, so that he could focus on God, with no distractions.

   

  Lent is not only about giving things up. A different way of looking at it is to take somehting up for Lent. It may be a good time to 'turn over a new leaf' - a bit like the pancakes we flipped, we all have the chance to show a new side to us!

   

  Dear God,

  Thank you that during Lent we can think more about you and focus on you.

  We pray that you will help us with the positive things we choose to do this Lent.

  We pray also for all those in the world who have no power, no money, no food or have lost their way in life.

  Amen

• We have the Colsterworth WOW Factor!!!

  Fri 01 Mar 2019

  Our Key Stage 2 choir (with a few Year 2s for good measure), wowed the adjudicators at the Colsterworth Festival of Performing Arts last Friday winning not only the Choral Cup for the second year running but also the Vanilla Cup for our fabulous ukulele club. To top off the day we came home with the Growler Shield for best overall performance of the day: an honour which we have not had since 2008.

   

  The children were amazing and sang their hearts out showing great emotion and enthusiasm which moved both the audience and adjudicator.

   

  The adjudicator said " The children all really believed in the music. A very powerful and moving performance!"
