School hopes to builds class out of straw

A Norfolk village school is building a new classroom entirely from straw bales.

Pupils designed the environmentally friendly room in a project on Celtic round houses.

St Andrew's, which has 59 children aged two to 11, has planning permission.

But it needs £100,000 to build the room, which will double as a village hall.

Head teacher Jeni Barnacle said: "The bales will be fantastic insulation in winter and keep it cool in the summer."

Wind farm operator Enertag has offered the school a turbine to make its own power in North Pickenham.
