1. Introduction

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

Jo Moore receiving her Primary Science Teaching Award in 2013

This website is the third 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, Mrs Moore invites her pupils to be botanists. They observe and classify various types of mint. Her approach is detailed so that the engaging strategies she utilises are made explicit and could be adopted by other teachers.

Below her children describe some of the interesting science lessons Mrs Moore has taught them.
