6th December: Magnets
Today the reception children have been exploring magnets. To find more about what they did, click here.
Hello Kenton Bar, we’re NUSTEM. We’re based at Northumbria University, and we work across the region supporting children, families and teachers in exploring science, technology, engineering and maths. We’re particularly keen to help people recognise that careers in these STEM subjects are available to them.
On this page you’ll find a summary of the things we’ve done with your school, and links to follow-up activities you can do at home. You might also want to check out our calendar of upcoming events:

6th February: Medical Physics
Big thanks for having us over this afternoon, it’s always a pleasure. Today Year 3 and 4 looked at medical physics. We’ve a page of pictures and videos to take your further. After school, Luke worked with some parents building catapults!
Enjoy exploring the link, and we’ll see you again soon!
6th July: The Civil Engineer
We’ve been building bridges with Year 6 today using K’nex! It was great to see so many different designs!
Civil engineers design and build bridges of all different shapes and sizes – just look at the bridges spanning the River Tyne to see how different bridges can be!
Why don’t you have a go at building a bridge at home? If you don’t have any K’nex, try using dry spaghetti and sellotape instead or any other materials you have around the house! Be creative!
