Reception Welly Walk in Knole

Reception boys had a wonderful welly walk in Knole Park on Wednesday morning. The boys loved the experience from beginning to end!

They climbed, ran and explored their way around the park with huge smiles on their faces. The minibus was a highlight alongside the dragon shaped cookies they ate on a log in the woods.

It was a fabulous morning and one they can’t wait to repeat very soon.

Charity Donation from the Library

The Reading Reps are donating spare copies of books in good condition to the Children's Book Project.  This is a nationwide charity which distributes books via selected schools to children who need them.   The Reading Reps are thinking of how the whole Solefield community could help with this and are planning some Book Swap activities next term. This is a real example of our pupils displaying our school values: Value yourself. Value others. Value our world.
