Recently a team from Year 3/4 entered a Netball Festival at Wellesley Haddon Dene. 🎉 The Salmestone team played 3 exciting games against children from Wellesley Haddon Dene, Northdown and St Georges primary schools. 😊 The children showed brilliant sportsmanship, kindness and teamwork and there were plenty of smiles from the team throughout the day. We are very proud of our Salmestone team for their grit, determination and fun-loving attitudes.

Year 1 had an exciting opportunity at the end of last term! The children were invited to the Turner Contemporary to be among the very first to see David Hockney’s stunning new window exhibition, Sunley Window. 🤩 The children were even included in a local press release, which many parents may have seen, proudly representing our school with beautiful behaviour throughout the day. Inspired by what they saw, the class then enjoyed a hands‑on workshop exploring Hockney’s artistic style. They created vibrant digital drawings using iPads and worked together on a colourful window display of their own. 🌅 It was a fantastic day filled with creativity, curiosity and plenty of proud smiles.

Year 1 and 5 visited the Turner art gallery recently to work with artist Joe Fenwick-Wilson on a piece of artwork focusing on perspective. We will share pictures of the finished pieces in the next few weeks as the children finalise them. The idea behind the art was to paint using the primary colours and to then turn the painting greyscale to see what it would look like in black and white. We look forward to seeing how these turn out! Great work everyone 😊

Our Reception class had a wonderful trip to Broadlees Farm in Dover last term! 🐑🌿 The children enjoyed a hands-on experience, gently stroking lambs, exploring where farm animals live, and asking lots of thoughtful questions. It was a fantastic opportunity to bring learning to life and help the children understand more about animals and life on a farm. We are so proud of how curious, respectful, and enthusiastic they were throughout the visit—well done, Reception! 💚

Our wildly popular book fair is returning to Salmestone this week! 📍Monday 27th April 📍Tuesday 28th April The book fair will be set up directly after school outside our main reception area (weather permitting) or outside the canteen in case of rain. We have been blown away by the past success of these events, which have enabled the school to expand our library with some amazing books, and shown that Salmestone children really do enjoy reading. 📚We can't wait to see you all there!
