What an amazing teaching and learning environment the staff and students of St. Mary's Primary School in Greensborough, Victoria Australia have. Designed by the Australian Architects smith+tracey in 2010 it's colourful, playful and adventurous design definitely beats the beige interiors of my old primary school.
It's ok there is nothing to be frightened of... there is no such thing as the Pooki Man. Pooki Dolls however are very real and not at all scary, they are happy, colourful and fun. In Pookiland there are lots of happy little characters and they all come with a story attached to them. Designed by french designer and illustrator Marie Joxe Colllins, her inspiration came for the characters after the birth of her first soon Mateo. Over time more characters were added and pookiland was born. I say yay for Pookiland.
