Teaching under a tree - Scotland style

As part of our commitment to the Global Schools Partnership programme, Mary and I asked to teach and interact more closely with the pupils.  Before leaving Scotland we had worked with our pupils to generate questions to gain a better insight to the culture and people of Malawi. We had also asked pupils to send in photos and information about their own lives in Scotland.

Mary and I set up our lesson under the tree.  We worked with the second oldest class in the school (the Standard 8s had already finished exams and had left) and of those, we worked with pupils who were quite fluent in English.  The two of us had a great time working with the pupils and particularly enjoyed the spontaneous questions about Scotland they asked at the end.
