Lift-off for school lessons!
A primary school in Essex which was running out of teaching space has opened its new classroom - in the fuselage of an old Cessna plane.
It was spotted for sale by Jon Baker who works at Milton Hall Primary School at Westcliff-on-Sea, he said: 鈥淭he kids love it and they got really excited about it - they were like 鈥榦h my God there鈥檚 a plane on the field!鈥欌
The private jet was bought for 拢4,000 and redeveloped into a space suitable for 15 children.
鈥淚 designed it to be an empty usable space and we can use it for imaginative lessons 鈥 if you want to get some really interesting writing out of the children,鈥 Jon added.
