From the BBC (and apologies if this is old news to some of you)

https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/dorset/4294312.stm

"A group of enterprising parents have built a classroom for their children out of straw in a move thought to be the first of its kind in the country.

The building in the grounds of an organic farm in West Moors, Dorset, consists of about 500 bales of straw finished with a weatherproof covering.

It has been built by parents as a classroom for home schooling.

Planners and building inspectors have approved the design, praising it for meeting targets for greener buildings."

Not surprised to discover that the "group of enterprising parents" were all dedicated Home Schoolers!
