We have finally reached the day we have been waiting for! It's time to build the walls of our straw bale round house! But before we share this next milestone we need to cast our minds back to the end of August..... Over two sunny evenings, following the harvest, straw bales were gifted and delivered courtesy of Quality Equipment - G.E. Baker (UK) Ltd of Woolpit and safely stored under cover on pallets from Paul's Pallets of Risby. We’re so grateful to both companies and the helpers who came to offload them. Without your support we couldn't have got started! This off-grid eco-friendly space will be a special place to welcome children and young people accessing our alternative provision. It will be somewhere inviting to cosy down after adventures in the woodlands to take part in a range of wellbeing activities. #alternativeprovision #strawbaleroundhouse #EBSA #eotas

Roundhouse Build Milestone #4: We have walls! Hey teacher! Not just another brick in the wall, but a whole load of straw bales, each one unique in its own way! Our off-grid straw bale roundhouse is starting to take shape and can really see what a wonderful space it will be for the young people for who access our Alternative Provision. We are so thankful for the donation of straw bales from Quality Equipment - G.E. Baker (UK) Ltd as without these there would be no walls! And to Maximum Vision for the windows, so we can see the lovely view! It was amazing how quickly the walls went up, thanks to the skillful team from 'Heaven Sculpture Yard' and 'Woodland to Workshop'. Next steps, getting the roof on, closely followed by lime render. #heyteacher #alternativeprovision #eotas #EBSA #anxiouschild #neurodivergent #limitlessfutures
