A large classroom needs an equally large decoration, otherwise it can end up looking a mess. This painting works well both as a metaphor for learning and as an impressive backdrop for other images and artworks. And the class guinea pigs can enjoy the view from the foothills!

Each child in the class was allocated a climber to colour as they liked. And each one carries a backpack containing the ideas that propel them forward or hold them back from learning.

Of course, some seem to be heading in the wrong direction… but that could just be a temporary detour into the “learning pit” before they resume climbing again.
