I
s your portacabin coming to the end of its life? Are you looking for a more unique outdoor classroom space for your school? Then why not consider a one-of-a-kind, beautiful, eco-friendly roundhouse customised for your specific needs; a space where your pupils can get involved in both the design and building process.
Why commission an educational roundhouse build at your school?
• Realise the potential of your school & its grounds, increasing the quality of space available, as well as investing in the improved well being of your pupils.
• Solve - Provide a beautiful building whose benefits reach beyond the life of the build. As well as a platform for further arts & crafts projects, it adds value by adding a resource for the school, lending itself as a unique space that can be used and rented for events and activities outside of the school curriculum.
• Improve - A building that is both curvilinear and able to breath, is conducive to a more positive and relaxed learning environment.
• Accessible workshops tailored for all age groups and learning abilities that are both energising and engaging.
Experience learning beyond the classroom…. We believe the most effective way to learn is by hands-on experience. Our educational workshops nurture creativity, imagination and play, inviting your pupils to reconnect not only with nature but with themselves, empowering them with skills to
environment, children can often be more engaged and motivated to understand and learn. Providing pupils with a project where they get to be involved, from the design concept, to watching it grow and evolve, to being the end users of the space, can make for a more fun, engaging and relevant learning experience.
By getting pupils more interested in their natural environment within the school grounds this can often reach beyond the school gates helping them develop into more responsible members of their
bring about change within their own lives and communities.
An Integrative Learning Experience By linking the building project to different aspects of the National Curriculum we can provide more relevance to what they are learning by putting it into a more realistic context. Some pupils can find it difficult to grasp certain concepts within a more theoretical and classroom based environment, and so by transporting your pupils into a fresh learning
local community and getting them engaged in extra curricular activities to support their in-school learning.
