TEACHER'S DESK

Welcome to the Teacher’s Desk which, for once, is looking pretty tidy!

In the drawers of our desk we have a host of resources designed to help you incorporate quarrying themes into key stages 1 to 4 of the national curriculum for science, geography and citizenship.

Some of the units link back into specific areas of the Virtual Quarry so you may find it helpful to take your class on an interactive whiteboard tour. We can also help you to organise visits to real quarries.

We have more than 20 comprehensive units.

Developed against the schemes of work recommended by Department for Education and Skills. Each has been written by a qualified teacher and vetted by a group of other teachers.
