Current Events

Break 3 and Frome Community Learning Partnership share current projects and ideas designed to encourage a creative, outdoor approach to literacy for local schools.  These projects are a coming together of the indoor and outdoor, the hi-tech and the low-tech, from the use of technology to create story walks, to creating temporary spaces in the great outdoors.

As well as an exhibition of work from the project so far, on display in the Rook Lane Cafe, Break 3 will host the following events….

Words in the Woods: Family den-building workshop

Sat 8^th  February at Rook Lane Chapel

11am – 2pm

Lucia Harley is working with Rode First School with the challenge of creating an outdoor “pop up” reading / exploring den. As part of the project we invite you to come along, create your own den (large or small) and contribute your ideas to help make our final den design really special. The finished Words in the Woods den will tour local village schools in June, and return to Frome as part of Frome Festival in July.
