CHILDREN who started their first year in school are coming up to the end of their first term.
Youngsters across Dorset began their school careers in September and here, in our photo gallery, you can see their class pictures.
Click into the photo gallery above to see the pictures full-sized.
Hundreds of four and five-year-olds have taken important early steps into the world of learning. Meeting new friends, new staff and finding their way around different surroundings is all part of the school experience. You can buy copies of these photos here.
These photos were published in the Dorset Echo on Tuesday, November 5 and you can order a copy by dialling our back copies number during office hours on 0800 953 0227.
