    5RB and 5RJ have had a fantastic day at the Staffordshire Regiment Museum today! They have enjoyed exploring the exhibits, learning all about life during WW2 . The children were engaged, curious, and a real credit to the school throughout the visit. We are sure they have come away with lots of interesting facts and memories from a great day of learning outside the classroom.
