St Michael's First School in Staffordshire are planning to use a caravan as a classroom
A Staffordshire school has come up with a novel way to make lessons more interesting by using a caravan.
According to The Sentinel, St Michael’s First School in Stone has come up with a plan to procure a second-hand caravan to use as a class room.
The mobile holiday home would be decked out with different displays to help children envisage the country they are pretending to visit during their lessons.
Pupils will get their wish if the school wins the Barclays Class Act competition, which would provide it with £5,000 in funding.
“It is going to be so exciting for the children,” explained teacher Hazel Weddell. “They’ll think they are going on holiday. Some are already asking if they can sleep in the caravan.”
The school plans to deck out the mobile classroom with colourful cushions and create an area for pupils to read quietly.
Nominations for the Class Act competition will run until November 30th, with three winning schools or colleges being awarded £5,000.
