Sponsored sports morning It might have been a wet, windy, miserable Friday, but the children at Vallis First School, Frome were not deterred. Running a tight schedule, strategically planned out, Michaela the chair of the VSA (Vallis School Association) directed children, teachers and assistants around six different sporting stations with the sound of her whistle! Activities included football dribbling skills, catching skills and the ‘Hoop station shown above.

Vallis First School hold a sponsored Sports Morning every year, the whole school are involved and with such a logistical operation to arrange the school is lucky to have volunteers to help and Frome Town Football Club pictured below, who also give their time freely to support this event.

It’s all about encouraging a healthy lifestyle at Vallis First School and whilst the children were participating in their sporting event a team of volunteers were preparing a healthy snack for the children to have after. Chopped fruit and a healthy drink to reinforce the health benefits of exercise, good food and hydration – the children are certainly being given good foundations for life and they are having fun whilst learning.

Better Bath Street A group of children at Oakfield Academy have created a group called ‘Better Bath Street’ They chose to change Bath Street because, in their opinion, it is not a very interesting place and it is not very safe.

The group say, “Our first idea is to change the old Boston Barber shop into a graffiti shop called “Graffiti Galore.” This will hopefully stop illegal graffiti and give people a chance to learn street art. Our second idea is to introduce cycling lanes on the roads in the centre of town to reduce bicycle related accidents. Young children who are on stabilisers would be able to cycle on the pavement to avoid them taking up too much room in the lanes. Lastly, our third idea is to collect more recycling bins to put out on the road. Five different schools in Frome will be designing and decorating the bins to make them look more obvious in which bin to put your recycling in.”

Rocket day On Thursday 19th April, 16 pupils from Selwood School went to British Aerospace at Filton, Bristol on a science, technology, engineering and maths trip about rocket engineering to encourage a career in science. When we got there we watched a presentation by the founder of Starchaser, Steve. After the presentation we were split into groups. We made rockets, which were launched with real rocket propellant later on in the day. Steve performed a propulsion lab science show which included exploding hydrogen balloons, mini rocket bottles and elephant tooth paste! Then, we went outside and launched our rockets.

The group who came on this trip enjoyed the whole day and had lots of fun!

Trip to Westminster 46 year 8 pupils and 4 members of staff from Selwood were lucky enough to get the chance to visit The Palace of Westminster.

We arrived at Portcullis House in time to meet our MP David Heath. We saw the scaffolding which would be used to hoist the Queen’s new stained glass window into place - a gift from the MPs to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.

The tour continued on into St Stephen’s hall where artistic paintings, statues and also Roman mosaics were placed on the walls. We were stunned by the Queen’s throne which like most of the room is made of gold leaf except two angel statues that are made of pure gold. Later in the day, the children headed down the River Thames on a boat trip to Tower Bridge. We saw many famous sights like: The London Eye, Big Ben, The Tower of London, the Gherkin and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre plus many more. We all had a great day and felt very lucky to be able to visit the buildings which are so important in the running of our country.

Simon Taylor uses his french French speaking Bath Rugby player Simon Taylor joined in with a game of ‘Virtual Rugby’ with a twist at Rode Methodist First School; learning both rugby and French. It was an amazing experience to learn new French words such as ‘sautez’ for jump, ‘mélée’ for scrum and ‘coup de pied’ for kick. Simon, who played three seasons at Stade Français, was an ideal player to inspire the children in both Rugby and French.

The Language Through Sport session was led by Bath Rugby Foundation’s Vicky Heslop, who works on a variety of projects in schools across the area. Kim Slade, teacher of Langham Class said: “We are encouraging our children to learn through the Olympic and Para-Olympic values such inspiration, determination, excellence and respect. We were delighted that Simon and Bath Rugby could support our teaching and learning.”

Since the opening of the new store at Westfield Trading Estate, business has gone from strength to strength.

Proprietor Georgia Haines says “Mojo offer a different service to many others as we have a large range of top brands available in store and online, including District, Grit, Hardcore, Pheonix and many more. This gives us the ability to build custom scooters to our customers specifications”.

You can benefit from the MOJO team building your scooter for free if bought from us. MOJO also do all repairs and maintenance on scooters while you wait.

The ever popular MOJO skate clothing brand available in store as well as helmets and protective pads, MOJO has everything you need for hassle free scootering.

Frome schools writing competition A writing competition organised by the Frome Community Learning Partnership (FCLP) has announced the winners from 400 entries this year. The Partnership wanted to give pupils a purpose for writing and therefore encourage them to put pen to paper and develop their writing skills. It also promoted children’s ability to develop their ability and to craft and draft and write inspirationally and accurately.

There were two competitions, one to make up a story with the first sentence taken from an existing book and another to write a poem in any style and on any subject, with the condition that the poem had a line from an already published poem. Each of the winners received a book token.

Head teacher of Selwood Academy, Stephen Kirby, on behalf of the FCLP, said: “Our thanks to the six judges who responded to the newspaper article that launched this competition and who volunteered to share the judging between them. They were Annabel Claridge, Angela Moss, Lindsey McLennan, Richard Wallis, Karin Campagna and Anne Bourke.

“All 400 entrants will receive a certificate and the winning pieces will be typed and distributed in a booklet to each of the 17 schools and also to the six judges.

There were many excellent, high-quality entries – we certainly have a wealth of talent in Frome.”

The winners in the story competition were: Melissa Carbine, Hayesdown; Bella Carpenter-Roberts, Hayesdown; Bridget Colebrook, Hayesdown; Ilana Gane, Beckington, Maddy Patterson, Vallis; Ben Phillips, Nunney; Beau Miller-Whisstock, Mells; Bethany Harrington, Selwood; Jessica Perry, Selwood; Jacob Lee, Selwood.

The winners in the poem competition were: Bridget Colebrook, Hayesdown; Mary Evans, Berkley; Ertha Gilder, Berkley; Sean Delaney, Beckington; Jack Daniels, Berkley; Darcie Monger, St John’s; Daisy HarrisonBroninski, Oakfield; Megan Pritchard, Oakfield; Rosa Murphy, Selwood.

A celebration for beavers Clayton, Alfie, Owen & Alexandra from the 10th Frome Beavers group who were presented with their Chief Scouts Bronze Award. This award is the highest award for a Beaver as it means that they have completed all 6 of their challenge awards.

The awards were presented to them Sunday 22 April at the Frome & District Scouts St Georges Day Parade & service at St Cuthberts Church Wells.

Mus ic Learning to sing or learning a musical instrument is a great skill for children to learn. It’s a way in which they’re able to express themselves, can help ease any stress in their life and gives them a boost of confidence in their own ability.

For those children who fancy it, there are always music performance classes available, often incorporating dance and drama too, where the eventual goal focuses on putting on a performance for parents. Other classes are more focused on the enjoyment factor of singing or your childs chosen instrument, although these may also may involve occasional performances too.

Every Thursday term-time at 5:45pm - 7:45pm Ages 7 - 17, no audition necessary Please come and join us St John’s First School, Christchurch Street East, Frome Somerset BA11 1QG

Some of the benefits from learning to sing or learning a new musical instrument are Concentration Learning a musical instrument or singing will help your child develop concentration, as they must focus on a particular activity over extended periods of time.

Coordination Practicing musical instruments improves hand-eye coordination.

Relaxation Researchers acknowledge that certain types of music can aid relaxation by lowering heart rates and blood pressure.

Patience Children must develop patience and perseverance, which will help them later in life when they must tackle other more difficult challenges.

Self-Confidence The act of learning and performing, the encouragement of a teacher and the enthusiasm of a proud parent, will build in a child a sense of pride and confidence.

Some schools still offer the chance to learn a musical instrument, especially the recorder to start with, and instrument lessons may be available through your Local Education Authority’s Music Services. If you’re not sure, it’s worth enquiring to find out what’s available in your area.

There are also lots of music teachers offering private tuition for children of all ages. If you’re not sure which instrument your child would like to play, or be best suited to, then a music teacher may be able to offer them the opportunity to try out different options.

FATHER’S DAY Sunday 17th June

Father’s Day is always held on the third Sunday of June.

It is a day to honor fathers and father figures, such as grandfathers and fathers-in-law. Many people make a special effort to visit their fathers or to send them a card or gifts.

There are some suggestions that the idea of Father’s Day may originate in pagan sun worship. Some branches of paganism see the sun as the father of the universe. Since the summer solstice occurs around the same time of year as Father’s Day, some people see a link between the two.

The idea of a special day to honor fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced from the United States. There, a woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother’s Day celebrations to plan a day to honor fathers. Father’s Day has been celebrated in June since 1910 in the USA. The celebrations in the United Kingdom are thought to have been inspired by the American custom of Father’s Day.

Make Father’s Day special this year...

Beach Beautiful Now that summer is around the corner and many people have their summer holidays booked, the all-important beauty countdown has begun, and many women are preparing for beach bods ready to recline on sun loungers supping mojitos!

To get in tip-top condition for your holiday, follow our beach babe guide to getting groomed and gorgeous in time for take-off.

First of all, prepare to tan, firm up your wobbly bits then get silky skin, glossy locks and gorgeous feet & hands...and you’ll be ready to dazzle.

Tanned skin always looks slimmer and sexier.

Before you go on holiday, apply a fake tan either at home or professionally by a salon

Try a few sessions at the gym or with a personal trainer before you go away, exercise will help the wobbly bits firm up, lose weight and the boost of circulation is also great for the skin.

We would never recommend crash diets but if you would like to lose a few pounds for the beach, speak to your local slimming consultant.

Try waxing or electrolysis for a long lasting de-fuzzing!

Make sure you have fantastic looking feet when wearing your flip flops by having a pedicure. The same with your hands, try a manicure so your fingers look perfect holding that cocktail.

A trip to the Hairdressers before take-off will ensure your hair is in tip top condition for the sun and don’t be afraid to wear hats on holiday. This will protect your hair from harmful rays.

Don’t be afraid to accessorise swimwear or beachwear. It can take the attention away from problem areas and big jewellery makes your body appear smaller.

Apart from protecting your eyes, sunglasses are an instant confidence boost, adding allure regardless of what you’re wearing.

Lastly, it’s always great to feel your best but as every woman obsesses about at least one part of their body. Remember this and then get on with enjoying yourself, it’s YOUR holiday!

Fun, effective workouts at a location near you

Games for...

Car Journeys Fingers Out This is a simple guessing game for which you just need two kids! Great for passing the odd waiting moment or car journey.

Age: Any

The children face each other and count to 3.

On ‘3’ they put out one hand - either as a fist or with 1, 2 or 3 fingers extended, shouting out at the same time a number between 1 and 6.

Add up the number of fingers extended.

If a child guessed the exact number of fingers shown they score 2 points. If they guessed nearest the number of fingers shown, they score 1 point. If there is a tie, no points are scored. The first to a given number or points perhaps 5 or 10 - wins.

I Packed My Suitcase I Packed My Suitcase is a classic memory game which is useful for all sorts of occasions, from a doctor’s waiting room to a long car journey! You can adapt it to all ages of kids, and adults enjoy playing as much as children.

Age: 5+

The first player thinks of a word beginning with the letter ‘a’ and then says, for example: “I packed my suitcase with an apple”. The next player repeats the sentence and adds something beginning with ‘b’, for example: “I packed my suitcase with an apple and a banana”. The next player adds a word beginning with ‘c’: “I packed my suitcase with an apple, a banana and a canary.”

Play continues until someone can’t remember the list or makes a mistake. Depending on their age, you can either prompt them or disqualify them! Keep going until all players but one are disqualified, or until you reach the end of the alphabet.

Diamond Jubilee Collage Even the youngest children can enjoy having a go at creating a Diamond Jubilee collage using symbols to represent Queen Elizabeth’s 60 years on the throne.

We started by drawing the number 60 in gold pen on an A3 sheet of construction paper. The boys were then given a selection of crafty bits and pieces from which to choose.

For a more complex collage you might to include photos of the Royal Family, palaces or state coaches, royal symbols such as crowns, sceptres, and even a corgi or two!

You could also add Union Jacks and Commonwealth flags.

The Snorgh and the Sailor

By Will Buckingham, 5+

The Secret Lake

Snorghs don’t share their soup, they don’t have visitors and they definitely don’t like adventures. However, when a bedraggled sailor turns up on his doorstep telling him stories of exotic lands, the Snorgh finds himself going on an adventure after all.

This witty and touching story, packed full of emotion, tells how a lonely old creature is transformed by an unlikely friendship and the discovery that we can do the most amazing things, if we dare to.

By Karen Inglis, 7+ Stella and Tom, her younger brother, have moved to their new home in London. It’s not long before they become intrigued with their elderly neighbour’s dog Harry as he keeps disappearing and then returning wetthrough. Where does he go?

The two children, over their summer holidays, embark upon a quest to solve this mystery. They soon discover a boat that has been buried and a tunnel that leads them to a secret lake. But who is the terrified boy rowing towards them and whose are those children’s voices coming from beyond the woods?

Stella and Tom discover that they have travelled back in time to their house and gardens as they were one hundred years earlier. As the story unfolds, Stella and Tom uncover some startling connections between the past and the present.

The Emerald Atlas: The Books of Beginning

By John Stephens, 9+ One frozen night, when the world was covered with a blanket of snow, Kate, Michael and Emma were taken from their beds.

Ever since that night, Kate has been haunted by the silhouette of a tall, thin man.

Ten years later, after spending time in a number of miserable orphanages and the memories of their parents now a blur, the children arrive at Cambridge Falls.

However there is something strange about this place, Kate is sure she has seen the dark, crooked house before. As the children start to explore the house they discover an old, empty leather book. Upon touching the book an ancient magical prophecy is set in motion.

This is a fantastic magical adventure story. The first thrilling book in the most exciting children’s fantasy series since Harry Potter!

Hello, I’m a red barred chameleon

Hello, I’m a red barred chameleon.

I live from five to nine years of age and I love to climb which is why I need a tall enclosure. Madagascar is where I originally come from, so I need a humid environment. I have a long extendable tongue which is longer than my body which I use to quickly catch my favourite foods – crickets’ and locust.

Like you, I need to eat greens as part of a balanced diet. I can camouflage myself by changing colour which is why I’m sometimes difficult to find. I will also change colour depending on my mood. I’m also unique because I can rotate my eyes 360° and move them independently.

Fully grown, I can measure up to 8inches whereas males can grow up to 20 inches! My feet are special because they are clamped shaped with small claws which helps me to climb more easily.

John at Garsto n Vets says: “When the w eather warms up it will be pe rfect for flea s.

Make sure yo ur pet is up to date with thei r flea treatm ents.

Remember pr evention is better than cu re.”

Homemade Chicken nuggets Chicken breasts (or fish fillets for fish fingers) Plain flour Egg (beaten) Fresh breadcrumbs Black pepper and dried herbs (optional) Cut uncooked chicken breasts into pieces (either strips for chicken fingers or chunks for chicken nuggets).

First dip them into flour (seasoned with pepper and herbs if you like), then into beaten egg and finally breadcrumbs - this can be fun if you set up a conveyor belt system and have your children helping.

The best way to make the breadcrumbs is to put some day-old bread in a blender, although you can crumble it by hand so that it becomes fine breadcrumbs.

Brush with a little oil and cook under the grill for 10 to 15 mins, or bake in the oven at 190C/Gas 5 for about 15 to 20 mins, turning halfway through.

Serve with vegetable hash, cheesy mash or potato & cauliflower cakes and vegetables.

Strawberry Muffins 6 tablespoons butter 3/4 cup sugar (granulated or caster) 2 eggs 1/2 cup milk 14 strawberries, preferably fresh 2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour Pinch salt 1 tablespoon baking powder Strawberry jam Heat oven to 350F, 180C, Gas Mark 4 Grease a muffin tin or fill with paper liners.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the milk.

Chop the strawberries up into small chunks, then stir them carefully into the batter, trying not to break them up too much.

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into the bowl, then fold in. Do not over mix.

Fill muffin cups halfway. Add a scant teaspoon of jam, then add more batter to fill two thirds of the cup. Bake until the muffins begin to brown and a toothpick comes out clean (about 20 to 25 minutes).

Remove the muffins from the tin and cool.
