Primary Science and Technology Newsletter 45 Autumn Term 2009
Despatch of copies of the autumn term issue is now complete, 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.
