The Abbey - Shrewsbury











































Today the family headed to Shrewsbury, where we visited Shrewsbury Abbey, The Abbey was made famous by the Ells Peters Books then later on the TV series Cadfile. On arriving at the Abbey Kellyn picked up a children's quiz sheet. We wandered around the abbey taking in the ancient architecture of the structure. In the ladies chapel we lit candles and paused for some time for quite reflection, before continuing our tour. As we walked round we discussed the age of the building . As Kellyn finished off his sheet we finished off the tour, Kellyn collected his prize for doing so well. We left the abbey for our next visit.

After the Abbey we headed across the road to Shropshire Wildlife trust centre, First we walked around the wild gardens, This was quite interesting. After we went into the education centre. Kellyn was very excited. First he put together some jigsaws before he completed a wildlife quiz where he had to guess the creature. He completed this in double quick time. Next Daddy explained to him how to use a Microscope, Kellyn was amazed by it and looked at several different slides.

We learnt alot about how we can help preserve our Shropshire wildlife for future generations during this visit. We have gained lots of ideas too. Great visit which helps Kellyn with his Schooling.
