We couldn’t love these more! Miss Davies’ #crocheted “Women who changed the World” in the #History and #Politics room caught the eye of our year 6 girls during their year 7 Taster Day today. A few more to go to complete the collection but they are brilliant! 👏👏 #crochet

“Anything is possible. Don't be held back by pigeon holes or predetermined paths that others might think are right for you. Own your dreams & set out to make them a reality” wonderful to have @GDST CEO @cherylGDST speaking to us at #speechday #wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits

Head to the quarry in #shrewsbury today to see a pop up #art exhibition on the SHS school fences organised by High School #alumnae & featuring art by young #shropshire #artists @shsarty

2/2 ...but also in October 2019 in our Africa special we discussed Cecil Rhodes & the debate about his statue in Oxford. So if you came to Hippos in 2019 not only did you learn about the past- Cecil Rhodes statue debate & the Spanish Flu- but it helped you understand your today!

[SHS History Politics @SHSHistoryPol]

1/2 Take a look at what Hippos- our History Society- covered in 2019-20 @ShrewsburyHigh Including in October 2019 our Halloween Apocalypse special looking at the 1918 Spanish Flu and asking if a similar virus could return today... https://t.co/QCKZuAJkqB

What a term! Wishing all our wonderful pupils, parents and staff a well earned fun-filled summer holiday. We've had a look back at this term of #guidedhomelearning and our special community that has not only survived this period, it has in fact thrived! https://t.co/SerXTXfW07

For her #creativearts project, Poppy combined #PE & #art, with her #olympics set in #Finland & based around the sport of #Pesäpallo. She then designed the logo. This has certainly put us in the mood for our #virtual #sports day! Great work Poppy! @SHSPEdepartment

[Julia Viani @TootSweetsShrew]

Quick chat on @BBCShropshire this morning with Eric & @ClareAshford about #WorldChocolateDay & #gardenscapefocaccia

Save the date @GDST schools of Sat 5/12/2020 for an online Model UN! We are looking to get around lockdown by hopefully running this year's MUN as an online event to which all GDST schools are invited. DM or Email me- Mr McCarthy [email protected] if you are interested!
