  1. I dream of learning

  2. The grass is greener ! Our design is about bringing the outside in

  3. Working with people they get on with Group work Discussions fun How do pupils learn ? Comfort Independently With technology Help from pupils and students

  4. What the experts say Prof S Heppell Education advisor on schools for the future Merlin John Education journalist Robin Callister Architect

  5. Schools around the

  6. They are cramped The room is claustrophobic Plain, simple Dull In the simplest words they are BORING!

  7. Our research • We found out that a whopping 90% of our interviewees enjoyed working at home. • We asked a group of students if they could bring one piece of furniture from home what would it be 70% said sofas 10% said their TV and another 20% said their dining room table. • We found out that pupils would like to work in a greener enviroment. • And our biggest find was pupils would prefer to use technology to enhance their learning rather than books.

  8. Green Research • Insulation- Triple Glazing provides heat and protects us from loud distracting noises (e.g. planes)this also works with foam board as these help keep heat in and absorb sound • Geo- thermal- pumps cold water down to hot rocks and uses the steam as a form of heating! • Smart material on the windows they open and close as it gets warmer/colder we researched these but they are too expensive  • Wind turbine- indirect energy which can charge special batteries which make it energy you could use for lighting and computer etc.

  9. Green Research • Movement sensors- no movement or heat energy detected the lights turn off how cool is that! • Solar panels can provide heat for warm water • Water butts that collect water to be filtered ready to be • drunk or to be used to water the plants • Recycling boxes for glass, cans, paper, etc. • And of course a compost bin • Low energy light bulbs • Bird bath, bug box, hedgehog box • Bird house

  10. Our ideas We wanted a greener design but to keep it cheap at the same time so we came up with these. Water butts Wind turbine Plants Solar panels Bird bath Etc.

  11. Using Sketch up Using google Skecthup was harder than we thought at first it was very difficult but then with more experience we learned how to use it properly.

  12. Corner of class Yellow walls is proven to be a creative colour Plasma screen Plant tub Interactive board Study has shown that the colour. Blue is very relaxing Chillout zone 70% of students we asked said if they could they would have sofas in school Laminate flooring Easy to clean and very nice looking plants

  13. Indoor comfortable benches for group work This table can be broken into 4 Circle table Table with desk in case students want to work alone Teachers desk With hi tech apple Mac pc Green chairs to help with our outdoor feel

  14. Computer area Laptops (we have 48 most are stored away until needed) Black stools

  15. Eco-friendly Mini Garden Water butt Bird house Hedgehog house Compost bin

  16. What it equipment are we using These Laptops are touch screen and have swivel necks they also match our colour scheme Nintendo ds spent over $140 million on educational research in their games Large screen laptops which are advanced and modern

  17. These are the furniture in our design This is our flooring

  18. Prices
