1. Introduction

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

Robin James receiving his Primary Science Teaching Award in 2013

This website is the sixth 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.

The creative practice illustrated by Robin James, involves the use of games and recycled materials to communicate key ideas about sound and insulation.

Below Mr James describes how he supports learning creatively in science.



Freddy recognised that imagination was an integral part of Mr James's creative practice and their creative development.

This is also something Reece acknowledges too.
