Astra Special School’s library revamp starts Phase 1

Scrape, paint, draw, colour in – this is what The Little Optimist and Flyfleet teams accomplished in four days.

The Little Optimist Sailing Academy team started the week by scraping the walls and applying a fresh new coat of paint.

Next up, Chip Snaddon, illustrator of The Little Optimist children’s books, shared his skills by drawing images from the book on the walls of the library.

To finish the week, the very artistically talented team from Flyfleet joined us for the day to complete the walls by adding colour to all the illustrations.

The end result is beautiful, and we cannot wait to start phase two of the Astra library revamp.

In the next few weeks, we will be replacing and adding digital equipment – such as a SMART board, projector and TV, a sensory bench, audiobooks, and so much more!

Thank you to the Flyfleet team for your time and generosity.
