1. Introduction

This project is designed to illustrate aspects of creativity in primary schools

Clarysly Deller receiving her Primary Science Teaching Award in 2012

This website is the second in a series of online materials designed to share examples of creative practice. These illustrations of teaching and learning are designed to help teachers appreciate what creativity might look like in their classrooms.

These classroom episodes are presented to highlight features of teacher’s creative practice and the nature of creativity that emerges between children in the process of learning.

Each of these web pages showcase a range of episodes from Primary Science Teaching Award (PSTA) award winners’ classrooms.

In this website, the creative use of dramatic strategies in science is demonstrated by Clarysly Deller. These engaging activities, she creatively utilises, could be adopted by other teachers.

Additionally, the legacy of Clarysly Deller's creative teaching is described by her former pupils (see section 5). They reflect on her imaginative approach to teaching science and how it has helped them during their secondary school experience.

The comments below highlight why Mrs Deller finds learning science through drama creative.
