Old plane converted to classroom
CHILDREN at a Stoke-on-Trent school have had their first lesson in the new classroom - a former commercial airliner. The plane was saved from scrap after children at Kingsland Primary School were given the chance to choose what they wanted as an extra classroom. "One little boy said an aeroplane so we went and found one," head teacher David Lawrence said.

Planning leaves War Memorials at risk
HUNDREDS of war memorials are at risk of being lost or damaged because planning laws fail to cover their preservation, according to a report published today. Military memorials are also under threat from thieves who, The Times claims, sell them for use as garden sculptures.
A report from the London Assembly calls for a full register of memorials in the capital to be developed over the next two years and for changes to the planning laws.

Artangel's Crystal Palace to re-open
ONE of the most high-profile installations to be launched in the UK last year is set to re-open on 23 July. Roger Hiorns’s major sculptural project “Seizure” - a derelict South London flat transformed by the UK artist into a cavern coated in copper sulphate crystals – first opened late last year. The work led to Hiorns being nominated for this year’s Turner Prize.
