What can you see outside you classroom?

[PinkIndustry]

My school backs on to a fruit farm so the main thing I see, all day long, outside my window, is a huge industrial greenhouse. It is not transparent but the whole structure has an opaque covering over it so that I only see the impression of greenery within and occasional shadowy figures who must be the workers caring for the fruit. So shadowy are they that, to me, they seem elusive, mysterious, unreal and I imagine them as fairy-like - elves or goblin workers such as might be found in Santa's grotto! I often wonder if they can see my shadow through the covering and if they wonder what it is like to teach children in the same way that I wonder what it is like to pick fruit all day.

Today I thought of all the very different school up and down the country and wondered what other interesting things are outside our classroom windows?

A lovely view of the playing fields. I have to put the blinds down to stop kids being distracted watching PE lessons.

I can see the sea (sing-songy voice). Well from one classroom I teach in. From another it was bonking pigeons.

[wobblywonderwoman]

A village road. it's nice but not exciting.

[PinkIndustry]

Oh I am very jealous of a sea view, elephant!

[Minispringroll]

Part of the playing fields and some of the housing estate a little further off. Top windows usually give us seagulls, which my class find weirdly entertaining.

Not a teacher but I did some class observations. Most of the classrooms had a view of the brick walls of the adjacent buildings. Cherish your greenhouse!

[Fragglewump]

Greenery (overgrown so classroom very dark) and a snippet of the fence around the pond and the playgrown beyond. Op maybe you could use the opaque greenhouse as an entry point for some sinister creative writing........

Last school: eight tower blocks, a burnt out Scout hut and McDonalds
This school: all weather pitch and cricket pavillion.

Def gone up in the world!

[PotteringAlong]

Car park and boiler room!

[clam]

A bank of green grass (covered with daffodils until recently) from one side, and a small garden (maintained by the gardening club) and woods from the other window.

[SusanAndBinkyRideForth]

Carpark and some AstroTurf

[sassytheFIRST]

School buildings and the Malvern Hills in the distance.

[BlanketSky]

Playing field and then flat farm fields beyond (in the fens...)

[EvilTwins]

The Cheese Roll hill

[CalleighDoodle]

A duck pond.

[PreAdvent13610]

Mondays - nothing, I am subterraneum
Tuesdays - the park
Wednesday - the cathedral, twas vanishing and reappearing from the mist today
Thursday and Friday - the yard

[iloveredwine]

The huge playing fields and climbing wall

[Abecedario]

I'm in Early Years, from one side I can see our outdoor area, the street beyond and church across the road. On the other side the KS1 playground and garden. Nothing wildly exciting!

[Emochild]

Our car park

All the classrooms face onto it so the school transport can pull up straight outside the classrooms and the pupils come straight in

Practical but uninspiring

[Checkedstripes]

The tops of trees - a very tall building!

[SuffolkNWhat]

Gorgeous blossom trees, fence & car park.

[LancashireTea]

The canteen roof and the other blocks of our school. It can be a bit grim.

From one of the other blocks there are lush views though.

[DanyellasDonkey]

The sea in one direction and an old ruined castle in the other.

Lovely location, shitey school

[Roseformeplease]

The sea, some islands and boats going by. Also mountains and, because we are at the top of a hill, birds at eye level. Glorious.

[KinkyDorito]

The corridors. I teach in a pod. I long for windows I can open and a view!
