Students played a major role in choosing the new furniture for their classroom in a special project that proved very popular.
Teacher Rebecca Tolhurst said the starting point was creating the “ultimate reading area” and the students’ passion drove the project.
Rebecca said there has been a lot of excitement among the students who have taken more ownership of their new learning space.
“Everyone was so passionate about this, and it all started with the idea to create an ultimate reading area and it has grown from there,” she said.
Student Page Williams loves the idea that students can get involved.
I feel it is giving us such a great opportunity for learning and we are all really excited
