Numeracy & STEM
Numeracy is the ability to understand and use maths in daily life, at home, work or school.
Numeracy doesn't mean complex skills, like algebra, it means being confident enough to use basic maths in real-life situations.

Albert STEM Week
Albert STEM Week
Every Spring Albert Primary hold STEM week, a celebration of Science, Technology and Mathematics!
Children can come to school dressed in a Lab Coat (or dad's old white shirt with a collar is fine) and spend the week engaging with all things Science.
The children enjoy guest speakers and welcome parent Scientists in to support the celebrations. If you are involved in Science and Technology and would like to come and be a part of STEM week, please contact the school.
