Following the success of the Lincolnshire School Games Virtual Event series, please find attached an opportunity to take part in the final event; Strictly Home Dancing – Primary Dance Virtual Festival. This isn’t a competition, just a chance for children to create a routine based upon some starter moves (see below) from dances throughout the decades. When the children submit their content, they can choose if they would like it to be shown on social media or not. We hope to be able to share some of the content as inspiration throughout national school sport week as we work towards 60 daily active minutes for everyone.

Rehearsing for the Colsterworth Festival of Performing Arts

The Reception and Year 5 Nativity Dress Rehearsal was brilliant on Friday morning; we really don't want anything to spoil it next week. I know we are a school but younger children who cry or scream in the audience really do spoil the show and I ask you either to try and find a baby-sitter or sit at the back of the hall so you can quickly move to the ‘creche’ in the entrance area should the need arise. We get the show professionally filmed so this year we won’t allow private filming (phones off-not just airplane mode). We hope this reduces the interference on our wireless microphones although there will be an opportunity to take photos at the end of the performance. Thank you for your support in this matter.

We loved 'Beauty and The Beast' tonight (6.12.19) at The Little Theatre in Sleaford. The Cast were fabulous. Our Bluey Club want to say thank you (and can we come again?) The Beast was beastly but I was most scared of Madame Foo Foo. Thank you again.
