It has been lovely to welcome the children back to school after the half term break. On Monday, Year 5 visited Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery. Their teachers were very impressed by their behaviour and how proudly they represented our school while taking part in their workshops. This week also saw our first House Celebration, where the pupils from Severn House took part in several exciting games and activities including parachute games, musical statues and a football challenge. The children had a brilliant time and we look forward to seeing which House wins next!
