Writing week at Colmers
10 Nov

This week we have had our writing week at Colmers Farm Primary and we had something special planned for this. The stimulus for this was the launching of the Colmers Farm Teddy into space.

All of our classes got to watch the build up live and to ask questions about the launch and our brave bear's journey.
