Young Voices - a night to remember

The atmosphere was electric in The O2 on Wednesday night for the Young Voices concert. It was incredible to see world champion beat boxers, Anna Phoebe playing the violin and pop legend Heather Small, who entertained the crowd at the start of the night.

All the children singing the same song with only one conductor, was such a special thing to be part of. A night which will not be forgotten in a hurry.

Solefield celebrates Young Writers winner

Last week, we were thrilled to discover that Tom Lewis has become one of the summer winners of the Young Writers Twisted Tales mini saga competition.  This competition attracts many thousands of students from all over the country and so it is an impressive accomplishment to be selected. Tom's mini saga can be read by going onto their website here.

Cured

The plan was going smoothly, or so the piglets thought. As soon as Mr Wolf climbed the chimney, he saw it: the boiling pot of water. He imagined the pigs sniggering while eating him for dinner; he wasn't going to let that happen. He placed his large, furry, rounded bottom on top of the chimney. Smoke started filling the room below. The pigs began frantically coughing. 
Later that evening, Mrs Wolf asked, "What's for dinner, my dear?"
"Smoked bacon," chuckled her husband.

We congratulate Tom on his success and hope that (in his new school) he continues to delight his readers with his incredible stories. Keep up the fantastic writing, Tom!

Reception enjoy a visit from the Police!

Reception had a wonderful time this week learning all about the Police. They have discussed different police roles, designed badges and learnt a lot.

The week’s highlight however was the visit they received from PCSO Wilders. He talked about his job and uniform and the boys had a great time trying on the uniform, exploring the police car and even turning on the flashing lights. An experience they will not forget in a while.
