It presents the relatively few, powerful ideas of primary science in a simple format that will enable you to audit your present curriculum and ensure progression. Please click here to download it.

Primary Science and Technology Newsletter 47 Summer Term 2010
Copies were sent out in June 2010, and you can also print a copy on-line in Primary Resource. Please click here.
Copies are sent in bulk to local authorities for them to forward via their internal mail to their own schools (and to any associate members which subscribe via a local authority, ie, including any Foundation or independent schools which subscribe in this way). Some local authorities also put it on their schools' intranet.
Associate members receive copies directly, by post. For overseas associates this may take a little longer.
