With work beginning on-site at Castle Hill School shortly, last week we received a delivery of 420 straw bales from a farm in Bedfordshire.
The straw bales, measuring just over a meter in length, will be the building blocks of the new classroom.
Fortunately it was a lovely sunny day for the delivery. Whilst a finished straw bale building is of course completely weatherproof, at this stage, rain and straw don’t mix well!
