⭐ Our UKS2 Sports Day was held last Friday (27th June). ⭐ The children worked as a team in the morning to earn points for their teams (Mountain Hares, Snow Leopards, Golden Eagles and Brown Bears) by completing 9 different activities, including basketball, relay runs and long jump. In the afternoon, children competed individually in track races, including: sprints, hurdles, sack races and an egg and spoon race. We also held a relay race between each of the houses to conclude the day, which was won by Golden Eagles this year! 🦅 It was a marvellous day and the children competed well, supported one another and upheld our Salmestone values of: Ambition, Integrity and Community.

Brodie enjoyed demonstrating just how big our tomato plant has grown! Brodie's stripy courgette plant is also the best out of the three that were planted and Arlo's goosebump pumpkin vine is around a meter long now. 🍅 The children are thinking they may soon need to be rehomed in the school's outdoor garden area so the bees can pollinate, and Triffid the tomato plant will get the indoor planter to herself. 🐝 Great work Brodie, Arlo and Ms Uburgs! 🌱

Our school was proud to take part in the annual TKAT Primary Football Finals that were kindly hosted by Leyton Orient FC. It was a great team effort to reach the finals and Salmestone boys got to the semi finals and our girls went out in the quarter finals on penalties The boys and girls primary schools taking part had to qualify from their regional groups and we are very proud of both our teams for getting so far. There was some high quality football on the day at Leyton Orient and it was a lovely atmosphere. Thank you to those who came along to help and support on the day. Well done to all the participants - and hopefully we'll be back next year!
