        <title>Saltwood Wins District Sports (again!)</title>
        <description><![CDATA[This week has been the exciting Shepway District Sports. Saltwood definitely dominated on the track and field; so it was no surprise when we won the Upper-middle schools trophy for the third year running! In the Championships we were also victorious: Anaya, Theo and Delilah are all now Shepway sprint champions; Year 6 boys relay came a close second in their final and both the Yr5/6 girls and mixed year 3 and 4&#39;s won their relays! The final 400m races were also just as exciting with Edward giving it his all and coming an excellent third and Anaya a thrilling second following a nail-biting finish. Once again the whole team were complimented on their behaviour and it was lovely to see their team spirit; there were some serious pep talks going on. Well done everyone! Saltwood School&#39;s athletics prowess is currently the talk of Shepway! Perhaps we have another future Olympian amongst our team&amp;amp;quest;]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Class 6 had a memorable and enjoyable day on Wednesday, attending a Schools Cathedral Day in Canterbury. It was a privilege to spend the day in such a magnificent building along with other local schools. The children took part in drama, art, singing and prayer workshops during the morning. In the afternoon, all the schools came together for a special service and some of our pupils were involved in performing a song. Theo and Meredith had the very important job of carrying our school banner through the congregation. Well done everyone!]]></description>

        <title>Year 1 &amp; 2 Football Funday</title>
        <description><![CDATA[16 children from Class 1 and 2 were selected to represent Saltwood School at a football funday on the 3 Hills 3G football pitch. Even though some of the players are new to football, they all performed brilliantly and scored lots of goals in the 6 games both teams played. You all really impressed Mr Mullin, Miss Brown and Mrs Dooley and showed Saltwood School in a very good light. Well done to everyone who played.]]></description>
