my personal project


The Ark at Widewell Primary School
I'm basing my personal project on Widewell primary school the Ark they are a social/youth club/ after school clubs, the reason why they do this is so parents have enough time after they have finished work to pick their child/children up and to get the creative mind more creative I have permission to do this website from Jenn Collings and Barbara young the head mistress of the school to use them as my personal project I am still doing basic research on what they do their to keep the school children, They have their own website on inter web  quote “The Ark Project aims to encourage a greater sense of community and belonging in the area served by the school and to provide support to individual families. All are welcome to come into the Family Room situated in Widewell Primary School.” From the website I have met the team at Widewell primary school and I have seen some of the stuff they do to keep the project up and running and the views from the children and they’re very happy with the creative and construction progress they get on with in the two hours. http://www.arkcommunity.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=56
