Tour de Coleham

Wow! Our Cycling week was topped off with our big, charity cycling challenge and the participation from our community blew us away! Mr Venn and Miss Lewis hoped to cycle the length of England in 1 day cycling for 8 hours each. But it turns out the children cycled over 7,000 laps of the school field smashing the target all on their own!! What a day for Team Coleham! Thank you for coming out in force and supporting each other and raising £1,600 for The Ukraine, Save The Children. It was such a ‘feel good’ day, real community spirit and was all rather emotional at the finale!!
