2. Our New Learning Space
In May 2012 we created a new Learning
Space in our classroom which we called
“The Cave” with a view towards making
a more comfortable and relaxed area in
which pupils can learn. These are a
selection of the pupils’ responses after
using the new space for a number of
weeks.

I like the changes that we
made like the Cave. It’s
where we do reading and
sometimes we write things
and where we listen to
teacher.
5. Our New Learning Space
I liked the nice space near
the computer because we
can look at history, do
religion, have lunch, learn
Stay Safe, listen to stories and
podcasts.
6. Our New Learning Space
What I like about the new
learning space is that it’s cumfy,
quiet and it’s fun to do stuff
there. Right now while I am
writing this I’m sitting on a bean
bag in the learning space.
7. Our New Learning Space
We play on the iPods in our
learning space. We share writing,
the teacher explains Stay Safe to
us, we do dice games, we do art
pictures. We listen to stories. Our
learning space is helpful.
8. Our New Learning Space
I like learning in the cave. It is
fun in the cave. Everyone
likes the cave. When we go
to the next class I hope it will
still be there.
9. Our New Learning Space
My favourite place to sit in
the cave is the red bean
bag. I really like the cave
because there is nothing I
don’t like about it. It is the
best thing in our class.
10. Our New Learning Space
I don’t like the cave. I don’t
like being at the back too
much because I don’t learn
that much.
11. Our New Learning Space
The things I liked about the cave
were when we talked about our
Stay Safe and religion. The things
I didn’t like were when we talked
about our sounds in station
learning, I don’t know why.
12. Our New Learning Space
I like the cave because we used
to do Stay Safe there and listen
to stories. What I don’t like is
when teacher says “Everybody
up here” and everybody tries to
run like Usain Bolt to the bean
bags.
13. Our New Learning Space
We have a lot of fun in the
cave. The learning space is
warm. We do a lot of nice
work in the cave. We listen to
stories. It is really fun. Once
we ate our lunch there.
14. Our New Learning Space
We play on the iPods in our new
learning space. The teacher
explains what to do in our Stay
Safe. We play dice games in our
learning space. We do art in our
new learning space.
15. Our New Learning Space
The cave is really cool cause we can
really do anything. I really really love
it. We can go on the iPods here. We
can write stories. It’s really
comfortable with all the beanbags
and pillows. My favourite thing to do
in the cave is Stay Safe. I think it’s my
favourite thing that we’ve changed.
