Children's drawings are central in children's meaning-making and can say something about their thoughts and feelings. 43 drawings from Norwegian children (7-8 years) depicting school during the pandemic lockdown in 2020, were studied. Results show that students primarily depicted the 'official school' which was represented by their workplace such as large tables not intended for schoolwork, underscoring children's diminished size. Drawings of 'Informal school' were illustrated in colorful outdoor settings whereas 'Physical school' showed buildings functioning as school. Unclear boundaries between school life and private life dominated the children's drawings. Their drawings are presented and discussed in this article
