Shire hall protesters

 On 30^th January 2008, all different primary schools went on a bus to Shire Hall; all these schools have been threatened of closure, or conjoint with a different school. Hope split onto two busses and all together there was about 100 people, and made there way there separately. On bus B we were all getting ready and learning some new chants. All three chants had the same theme tune as other songs such as row row row your boat, ten green bottles and head, shoulders, knees and toes. We also held our posters against the windows of the bus and other people on the road would stare.  As we arrived we stepped down of the bus with our banners, posters and placards. We collected pom-poms and shakers and policemen helped us all cross the road safely. As soon as we stepped across the road we all started chanting, and raising our placards, banners, and posters, singing save Hope School.There where film crews from Newsround, Beckon Radio, and reporters from all different newspapers. Jess and Elkie where interviewed by the Shrewsbury Chronicle, and Newsround. When we got back everybody felt tired, but the news was fantastic, because closures have been stopped for the time being. However mergers are still going ahead. But people are still worried that people just said that to get everyone to go away.
