Welcome to Salmestone Primary School.

Our RAF STEM Workshop! Years 5 and 6 recently took a leap into the future during an exhilarating RAF STEM Workshop. The hangar (well, the classroom!) was buzzing with excitement as our young engineers explored the cutting edge of technology, artificial intelligence, and aerospace design. Teaching the Machines The session began with a deep dive into Artificial Intelligence. The children took on the role of "trainers," teaching an AI model to distinguish and recognise specific Royal Navy aircraft. They learned first hand how machines "see" and process data—a skill that is becoming essential in our increasingly digital world. From UFOs to UAPs Once they mastered the basics of AI, it was time for some creative engineering. The students were tasked with designing their own Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)—the modern term for what we traditionally called UFOs. The real magic happened during the testing phase: The Tech: If the AI machine successfully recognised the student's UAP, it triggered an automated response. The Interception: Upon recognition, the machine would automatically fire a paper airplane to "intercept" the craft! Inspiring Future Innovators Beyond the paper planes and coding, the workshop provided a fascinating glimpse into what the future of flight and defence might look like. Our students showed incredible problem-solving skills and teamwork, proving that the next generation of scientists and pilots is already well on its way.

Year 5 and 6 have been building bridges. The children used spaghetti and tape to build a Truss bridge. The next stage will be testing to see how strong they are. Well done everyone, some great teamwork and super concentration. 🌟

Recently Year 5 and Year 6 took part in the TKAT tag rugby festival at Newlands. The children came 3rd in the competition growing with each game they played. For most of the children it was their first time in a competitive rugby game and the team did extremely well, showing great sportsmanship and determination. 🤩

As part of World Maths Day, our Year 6 children worked alongside our Year 1 children supporting them with Numbots. The older children provided encouragement and technical support helping the younger children to log on independently, enabling them to practice their maths in the classroom and even at home. Our Year 6 children were great role models. 😍

Year 1 had a brilliant DT week creating their very own pull along toys. The children explored how moving axles work and experimented with ways to make them run smoothly and effectively. Each child designed their own monster toy and brought it to life with fantastic creativity and care. The results were wonderful. Well done Year 1! 🤩
