maybe we could make a dome greenhouse guy for star gazing. and could use see through plastic pieces instead of glass
is that do-able?

Maybe the kids could decide and design the type of dome to be built? So they decide what would be best for their purposes? Is slightly impractical in relation to when and how it would be built, but maybe that is left up to them too?

I'm not entirely certain what the grounds of this school are like, but we taught outside all the time at the Parks Primary School and personally think that would be most interesting here as well What kind of things did you teach outside Formio? It was mostly things to do with nature, so a bit about hunting bugs, did a bit of light construction work with sticks and rope. But just having that area was great. I do like the idea of a dome

I imagine it should be, you could replace some of the correx triangles with another material, it would just be a challenge finding this material. Unless you built a wooden frame for the triangles to sit on, which would make it much more permanent but harder to put together, especially for kids.

That would work, only I am busy wednesday evening. But I suppose if we use the forum we could all post our findings on here during the day or evening and I can always have a look at it Thursday morning. And we could all work on the application on the other website at the same time.

Well, maybe then if we get the main things we would like to propose decided tonight so that we can start on the application (which is due friday) and then further research and ideas can be posted here to be included

What do you all think about the time of year, it says for it to happen in the Spring Term (which ends on the 26th of march i think), would we cope sleeping in a dome? would we want to stay on site, how many days would we want to do it for?
