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!

⚠️What is Pharmacy First? This service enables children and adults to get quick, walk-in access to healthcare advice (some pharmacies also offer the service remotely as a video consultation). The person will be offered a consultation with a pharmacist in a private consultation room. This service takes away the potential delay of having to wait for a GP appointment and may help ensure children and staff get well and back to school as quickly as possible, potentially positively impacting attendance rates. The service supports people in the below age groups who need help with: ✔️Earache (aged 1 to 17 years) ✔️Impetigo (aged 1 year and over) ✔️Infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over) ✔️Sore throats (aged 5 years and over) ✔️Shingles (aged 18 years and over) ✔️Sinusitis (aged 12 years and over) ✔️Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women (aged 16 to 64 years) The pharmacist will provide advice and, if clinically necessary, offer an NHS medicine to treat the condition (these medicines are supplied free of charge to children under 16 years, with the normal NHS prescription charge rules applying to people aged 16 or over). The pharmacy will then send an electronic message to the person’s GP surgery so their health record can be updated. Should the pharmacist be unable to help, they will direct the person to their GP surgery or other health professional as appropriate.

Year 1 have been working hard on their knowledge of money this term. They are now confident identifying coins and created their own shops where they took it in turns to be the shopkeeper or the customers. The children had to find the correct money to purchase each item from the different shops around the room. Fantastic work Year 1!
