I was delighted to be asked to create an outdoor reading den at St George's Primary School in Gainsborough. Built in memory of Mrs
Oaks, a much loved teacher who passed away last year. The structure is built from pressure treated timber, with a deck made from composite plastic. The memorial tree inside is made (obviously!) from oak. The shape of the bench encourages social interaction between children and staff, and has plenty of room for books and provision to be stored underneath. A perfect addition to playtime (not all children want to run around), and a valuable tool for taking learning outside the classroom.
"I love it!"
Katie Barry, Headteacher.
