Check your classroom According to a study from the University of Salford (UK), the design of classrooms is very important because the right design helps us to learn. Colour What colour is your school (a) hall/living room? Colours like green, blue or orange are great. Are there exciting posters in the (b) rooms/garages? They help us, too. Temperature Have the rooms got big (c) windows/showers so sunlight and fresh air come in? This helps our brain to work well. In the cold months of the year, are the (d) fridges/radiators on? Freezing classrooms aren't good! Furniture Are the (e) tables/sofas round or square? Round ones are great. Is there a large (f) cupboard/wardrobe or a long (g) shelf/toilet? A tidy classroom helps us to focus on our work. Has your classroom got a quiet area with (h) sinks/armchairs to sit on? These help us to relax.
