U is for undecided

I need some help. I have a laptop which I use in the classroom and I want to choose a background a little more interesting than the standard windows screen.

I definitely don't want to use a photo of the school or the school logo, because we see those all of the time. I want something a little removed from everyday life in school.

What do you think? This one...


...of Tower Bridge in London ? It's relevant because we did a topic on cities earlier in the year, though they might be thinking that we've moved on from there.

This one...



...of the harbour in Pwllheli, North Wales? Quite a few of the children holiday in Wales; plus it's a busy picture and they would like the seagull on the yellow post!

Or, this one...



...because quite a few children have connections to farms or farming families (and besides, most children like animals)?

I'd appreciate knowing what you think.

  1. I love the lamb heading into the day with the sun at his back. What a great shot.

  3. My personal choice would be the second one. It's a gorgeous photo, and I'm partial to anything with water. But the lamb is adorable, and I think the kids would really enjoy it. Kathy

  16. As busy as the port is, if you think that'll spark the most questions and ways to learn, I'd go with it. The bridge is good if you crop out the bit of boat coming into the frame on the left. The lamb is a little bland without more to the composition. The age of the kids matters most in your choice, don't you think? I'd go with my gut on this one especially if you're going to use it as a tool for learning.

  17. Definitely the sheep. I like the other two pictures too but the lamb also sparks a bit of giggle and giggle can be GREAT on a trying day in school!
