Twenty-five local national primary school
teachers in Galway increased their knowledge of the ocean and its impact on our
daily lives through a teacher training course run by the Marine Institute and
Galway Atlantaquaria from 1-5 July 2015.

The annual workshop, which is coordinated
through the Galway Education Centre, provided teachers with the opportunity to
venture to the seashore to learn new activities designed to innovate and
inspire students about the animal species and seaweeds typically found on the
seashore.
The workshop aims to introduce teachers to
the Explorers Education Programme teaching materials and resources. "Through
lesson plans and activities we aim to help teachers integrate marine themes as
closely as possible with subjects on the primary school curriculum including
science, geography, history, as well as English, maths and art," explained
Cushla Dromgool-Regan of the Marine Institute.

"The course is very hands-on and
provides excellent examples of how we can overcome some of the challenges of
teaching students about the marine. The seashore is a great resource for
exploration and discovery of animals, increasing environmental awareness as
well as carrying out some fun art and PE activities," said Síle Nic
Spáidín, of Gaelscoil Riabhach Primary School, Galway.
The Explorers lesson plans are at our
fingertips and provide a great way to bring the seashore to the
classroom," Caroline Burke of Scoil Mhuire, Clarinbridge added.

Lab, Cork.
