Teaching award winner
Clarysly Deller wins the first Society-endorsed primary teacher award
Dawne Riddle writes: This year, for the first time, the Society endorsed an award to a primary school teacher as part of the scheme promoted by the Primary Science Teachers Trust (Formerly the Astra-Zeneca Science Teachers trust) to recognise outstanding and inspirational teaching of geology within the context of primary education in the UK school system.
The Society’s congratulations go to Clarysly Deller, who won the award for her lesson on fossils and the life of Mary Anning, which incorporated both microscope imagery and a dramatic intervention by ‘Mary Anning’ herself! Clarysly’s father, a long-standing FGS, attended the presentation by Nick Rogers, Chair of the Society’s Education Committee (picture).
