Workshop Photos

Here are a few photos of the workshop we held yesterday for the teachers:

 After our disappointing experience in September, when we had to make the best of a very unsuitable  room arrangement, we booked a function room at one of the local hotels for this workshop. We were able to go and set up on Friday evening, and we were almost jumping for joy at being able to set up the room exactly the way we wanted it.

 One aim of the workshop was to give teachers the opportunity to share some of the new ideas and activities they have been trying. It was really encouraging to see how much good practice is going on, and the way that some of our ideas and suggestions have been incorporated into their teaching.

Notice the woolly hats, scarves and jumpers. Cold season has not quite finished yet, though it's not actually that cold!

The other main focus was on developing children's spoken language, with a particular emphasis on supporting the migrant children, for whom Thai is not their first language. We introduced some games and activities and looked at how teachers could use some of the story books that we purchased for them to support children's learning and language development.
