Discussion:

Can you remember Kindergarten? Or maybe primary school? What was the building like?

Do you have good or bad feelings about it?
Was it an old or new building?
How large was the building and the rooms?
Was it open-plan?
Was there a lot of natural light?
Was the floor carpeted, tiled, wood, concrete...?
What sticks out in your memory?
Were there lots of trees around?
What could you see out the windows?
What was the furniture like?
Were there any unusual spaces, unusual climbing frames??
Was it colourful?
Does it still exist?
