A classroom at a primary school in the UK is providing a unique base for teaching. The unusual classroom was once an airplane, used to ferry businessmen across Europe but it’s is seeing out its days in unusual style.
The unique classroom was all the idea of a pupil.
The original plan was for a porta-cabin to be built on the site in the school grounds o provide extra teaching space but when the short 360 plane was found in a field in Shropshire pupil Ryan’s idea became all the more realistic.
The plane was transported through the back streets of Stoke-on-Trent but the route was too narrow. It eventually had to be craned over Kingsland primary school into position and now the school’s children are enjoying their first lesson in the airplane.
The cost of the project was 20,000 pounds, far cheaper than the 80,000 pounds that would have been spent on a less creative classroom.
