Sea View Primary School

Hello Sea View, 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.

Sea View Primary website

Your child or children have been using one of our NUSTEM loans boxes in class. NUSTEM loans boxes are linked to STEM careers and contain original objects and replicas that can be handled and used as part of classroom activities.  While using the resources in the boxes, children get the opportunity to try out and explore some of the skills, techniques, equipment and ideas that STEM professionals use on a day-to-day basis.

Children in Key Stage 2  have been using our sound loans box. For more information and activities to try at home, visit our Sound loans box page.

NUSTEM @ Seaview Primary School 2022-2023

NUSTEM is an outreach group based at Northumbria University. We believe that STEM should be accessible to everyone, for study and for pleasure, from early years, through school, to employment, and beyond. We support children, families and teachers to feel more confident that a career in STEM is for ‘people like them’.

Tuesday 22nd March and Friday 29th April Reception Meteorologists

Today children in Reception became meteorologists, thinking about and investigating different types of weather. We have some weather related activities you might like to try at home:

Reflective mobiles- make a sun catcher for your window sill or garden using anything shiny that you can find.

Wind socks- discover which direction the wind is blowing from and how hard it is blowing using plastic bags and empty pop bottles.

Sundials- tell the time using the sun, a pencil and a piece of card.
