Half term is about to begin and this week we had something extra special for our young writers.
A trip to see the incredible show Very Big and Very Loud.
It was so exciting to watch some children's theatre and see how written words can be transformed into movement and colour and a puppet fly.
After such a fun show I’m sure our writers will come back from half term with lots of new ideas.
