Creating a space to let off steam
Description
The magazine series helping to improve the school environment. Some children find it hard to cope with the daily routine at school and need to refine their social skills and their emotional intelligence. Having a space where they can relax or let off steam can help to remove conflict in the classroom. All Change helped to create such a space at St Catherine of Siena school in Birmingham. Project manager John Cregg implemented a design by Sjolander da Cruz Architects in Birmingham and built new storage with sliding doors. Mirrors were installed on the wall, both for children to use to visualise their emotions, and to bring the city skyline into the space.Presenter Sharon Wright also visits the Education Show at the NEC and showcases some exciting new products that schools could procure, from stylish IT solutions to innovative portable lockers for primary pupils.
