New Year 6 classroom unveiled at Martlesham Primary Academy
Primary school pupils got a sneak peek at their new standalone Year 6 classroom during a guided tour. The modern, high-tech building aims to prepare older students for the transition to secondary school.
Why it matters: The new classroom will help prepare Year 6 students for secondary school while allowing the small primary to expand its facilities.
Key details:
- Bury St Edmunds-based Seamans Building constructed the standalone building.
- It's designed to give older children a separate learning space.
- Seamans also donated and installed a large wooden shed to become the school's new Reading Café and held a careers day to teach pupils about the construction industry.
What they're saying: Headteacher Emma Churchman praised the project: "Working with Seamans to deliver a new classroom and improve facilities around the school has been inspirational and a real positive experience for the staff."
She added: "Learning environments are important to enable children to develop and grow."
What's next: Pupils will decorate the new wooden shed to transform it into the Reading Café.
