Playground art

The play area for the children was created by a group of artists. The children love to rush out, run around, play for five minutes and then come into class. Last night just as I was finishing dinner the art teacher came in. He explained that he had been building a map of the area with stones in the play area and was desperate to have something to eat and a warm shower after his labours.  The picture shows one of the children standing on the map, which is a nice physical representation of the area, the different coloured stones showing the road, the river and the various villages that we cover and in the background is the swing he and his colleagues created over summer. I was a bit puzzled by their having a subject specific art teacher at primary school but that is common here. He also teaches computer skills so I think that these students will be set up to work in multi media when they are older.
