As part of the Dorchester Schools Literacy Festival, Year 1 & 2 visited Thomas Hardye School to hear from the author and illustrator Neal Layton. This was an exciting opportunity to hear from Neal Layton about the process of writing and illustrating a children's picture book.

At the end of term, we celebrated achieving our Eco Schools Green Flag once more. Well done to all the Eco Schools Committee and Mrs Schoorens for all your hard work throughout the year.

We celebrated this achievement by inviting parents into school for a special Eco Schools picnic and for everyone to watch as we raised our new Eco School Green Flag.

Frome Valley First School is always so proud to present its annual school play production. This is a whole school play where every child takes part on the stage and every member of staff is involved from directing the play and writing the script, to creating all the props, to making all the costumes and creating all the dances!

This year’s play was based on Beauty & the Beast.

Each year, the School Council proudly organise a tea party to say a huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers that have helped in the school during the current academic year. 

This includes:

• parents and other family members that have helped with school trips
• the PTFA
• our school Governors
• the local church community
• volunteers that listen to children read
• volunteers that help in the classroom

On Wednesday 26th April, the RNLI came to school for a special assembly on staying safe near the sea. This is particularly important due to us living near the coast.
