Dr Thein Lwin trained Pho Cho, the HT of Say Ta Nar school in Critical Thinking and was delighted to see the great displays of the work Pirniehall have done with Say Ta Nar. He went round the classes greeting the children who were all keen to greet him with Minglaba!
At 11am, Dr Thein Lwin continued to teach P5/6 at Forthview. Today they were investigating and recording what they know about Water in Edinburgh to share with Grade 5 at Hle Bee. They all worked really well in 4 groups of 6.
At 1.15pm, Dr Thein Lwin gave a talk at Edinburgh University Faculty of Education to around 20 - 25 folk - a mixture of students, staff and interested Scottish and Burmese friends on Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking. It was clear that this went well when the audience asked such thoughtful questions and praised Dr Thein Lwin for his initiative and commitment to building the foundations of a strong education system for Burma's future.
Finally, Dr Thein Lwin went with Fiona Vacher, a Forthview teacher who visited Hle Bee in Summer 08, and Khine Maung (who's looking really well and healthy) to see SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE and eat an Indian meal.
Another worthy and exhausting day in the life of a Global Schools Partnership!
