This print titled "Clifton College, Pontooning" takes us back in time to a bygone era of practical skills and military education. Captured by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases a group of children from Clifton College engaging in pontooning, a unique activity that combines both fun and learning. Under the watchful eye of their teacher, these young students are seen navigating across water using makeshift pontoons. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of childhood curiosity and adventure as they test their abilities while acquiring valuable knowledge about engineering and teamwork. The historical significance of this image is further highlighted by its inclusion as an illustration for The Teachers Encyclopaedia edited by A. P. Laurie in 1911. It serves as a testament to the enduring value placed on hands-on education during that period. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of the timeless role teachers play in shaping young minds through experiential learning. The innocence and joy radiating from these children's faces serve as a reminder that education can be both enriching and enjoyable. This remarkable photograph not only celebrates the educational journey but also pays homage to Clifton College's commitment to providing holistic development for its students. Through pontooning, these children are not just building practical skills; they are forging friendships, fostering resilience, and embracing new challenges with enthusiasm.
