Located on an oval area of the schoolyard, the tree marks this as a meeting point for the pupils. The speech and thought bubbles are a global iconography and visualise emotions in what is said. They are used to sing loudly, shout in horror or post silently. 
The tree is a balancing offer to the cognitive focal points in school and at the same time it offers an identification with the school. Here, students are prepared for a professional life in which the ability to communicate will have of great importance.
