Location
Currently we are in the designing and planning stages, my vision is to have 2 log cabins to provide an indoor environment that will accompany the outdoor learning space.
Kitchen / Diner Cabin
We will have a space to develop independent living skills as well as enjoy a family dining experience during lunchtimes. Design technology session will be run from here and pupils will be able to access creative and experiential learning.
Indoor Group Work Cabin
The group work cabin provides a space for pupils to consolidate their experience from the outdoors and develop numeracy and literacy skills. Toilet, wash and cloakroom area is provided to get cleaned up from the outdoors during the 'not so nice weather', yes we will be working in all kinds of weather!
Recreational Area
We are aiming to provide an area for pupils to relax and enjoy a social space during break times. We will encourage pupils to enjoy the space, for younger pupils to develop imagination and play with peers and the older pupils can enjoy this area to exercise and develop physical ability.
