Pirniehall Primary School's link with Say Ta Nar School for Burmese migrant childreni n Mae Sot was celebrated in a joint community art project. You can see images from the project above.
From February to June 2008 in collaboration with artist Lisa Fleming, Pirniehall parents and pupils documented aspects of an average day using digital and disposable cameras. The community produced over 800 photographs, which formed 12 montages reflecting positive words important to the school. When head teacher Mary Ryan Gillespie visited partner school Say Ta Nar, for Burmese refugees in Thailand, she showed these montages to describe life in Pilton. In return, Say Ta Nar pupils created their own photographs of their daily life in Thailand for Mary to share with Pirniehall back in Scotland.
It's great to be linked with Pirniehall in this joint Global Schools Partnership.
