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?
