In the scene of August's first day of school, Lighting & Colour are used to create a safe and welcoming classroom environment. For instance, bright  warm colours are used on the walls and natural light come through the windows to make the space look lively. This makes the audience feel  excited, inspired  and that the space is education and supportive for learning. This was done to show Mr Brown had created a classroom space that would be welcoming to new students just like Auggie. Coinciding with this is the use of body language. The children are sitting up, smiling & paying lots of attention towards Mr Brown, They are learning ready.  This reminds the audience of the theme kindness because the lighting & colour make the room welcoming for all students
