Form 4 visit Harlow Carr

Form 4 enjoyed a lovely day at Harlow Carr Gardens last Thursday.  They were incredibly lucky to see the garden in the sunshine and had timed their visit well to see the rare blue poppies in flower. (Many thanks to Mrs Kirby for her beautiful photographs of all the fabulous blooms.)  The morning was spent doing some beautiful sketches, focusing on unusual shapes and detail.  In the afternoon the pupils learned about the Brammall Learning Centre Building and looked at ways that the architects and designers had made it sustainable.  Their findings provided much inspiration for some very simple ideas that we could all use to help make our own homes more sustainable too!
