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: “The kids love it and they got really excited about it - they were like ‘oh my God there’s a plane on the field!’”

The private jet was bought for £4,000 and redeveloped into a space suitable for 15 children.

“I designed it to be an empty usable space and we can use it for imaginative lessons – if you want to get some really interesting writing out of the children,” Jon added.
