Breathing new life into old furniture: A showcase of creativity from our 6th Form Pupils

As part of our Life-skills programme, our talented 6th Form pupils have been busy this week transforming tired, old furniture into vibrant, refreshed pieces full of character and charm. This hands-on project not only nurtures practical skills but also encourages imagination, sustainability, and teamwork.

Here’s a fantastic example of their hard work and creativity.

 

 

 

Beacon Woods

“Beacon staff have been working hard to get Beacon woods back up and running to utilise for the children to do their outdoor learning.

Currently 6 classes, specialist classes and intervention groups are happening down the woods where the children can explore outdoor activities and climb, splash and squelch their way around.

EYFS have recently been looking at the book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt and after listening to the story, went on their own bear hunt. They went through the grass, splashed through the ‘river’, stumbled through the forest, twisted through the snowstorm, and found the bear hidden in the cave.

As we move forward, lots more classes will be able to experience the outdoor learning area, experiencing new things as they learn.”
