Last week I noticed that photos had appeared
along the street, taken by 5-year-olds from the local school. Either I didn't look hard enough, or some new ones have appeared ....

An insight into children's minds, should the busy-busy passer-by care to notice. And coincidentally, someone on the radio who has researched the focusing vs noticing powers of 5 year olds finds they notice things outside of the task at hand more than adults do, ie they are more distractible [surprise!] -- so he suggests that classrooms shouldn't have interesting things on the walls, so that the children will be able to receive their "education" from what the teacher
tells them t focus on. What joy!
