Precedent Lesson 8/10/09
"If we had all of these things in our school we would be a reet school..." (Nicky, Yr 8)
Our second lesson with the pupils went well. This week we started the lesson by presenting them with a slideshow of examples of what could be achieved in a classroom. We asked them to order them on our "cool wall" (renamed the wonderwall) into categories we had defined based on what came out of the last lesson. These categories were: Colour/light, Variety, Activity, Comfort, Crazy and Everything else. This part of the class went really well with the pupils responding really well to it. There was a real air of disappointment around the room when we came to the end of the slideshow! We also got some really useful feedback from them about each slide and what they thought was important in each image and what they liked and didn't like.
The cool wall was then assembled onto boards ready to be put up in the school, along with comments cards. Hopefully the rest of the school and staff will get involved and let us know what they want and don't want. We've placed the responsibility on our class to start spreading the word, getting their friends and family involved. Hopefully the word will spread from there.
Next we split into our seperate groups, focusing on colour, position and places that make us feel certain things.

About this blog
Live Projects:
Live projects are a leading educational initiative at the University of Sheffield School of Architecture. Architecture students work in groups on a 6 week Live Project with a range of clients including local community groups, charities, health organisations and regional authorities. In some cases the projects involve actual building, in others design of urban master plans, in others consultation exercises. In every case, the project is real, happening in real time with real people.
Our Initial Brief:
Parkwood school relaunched itself this September as an Academy, sponsored by Edutrust Academies Charitable Trust (EACT). Parkwood is one of the many schools across the country that will be moving into a new school in the near future. There is an eagerness in the school to explore the relationship between learning and the spatial design. Explorations now will inform the way that the new school is used and leave something physical to be part of the new school environment.
In particular the new school will demand quick changes of use of the classrooms and spaces to accommodate different styles of teaching and learning. The headteacher, the client for this project, has asked that this be the focus of the project. Following on from previous student engagement work, this project will work with year 8 students to develop and implement physical changes and additions to a classroom within the school to enable a wide range of learning styles and activities to take place.
