. Parish Council News for Childswickham, Murcot and Mount Pleasant: October

2016

The Adopt a Phone Box process has now been completed. We plan to use the space

village and visitors. We are asking for volunteers to help us refurbish the space. So

if you fancy a spot of DIY, can put up a few shelves or help us in anyway please do

get in touch.

We have a new Parish Councillor. We’d like to welcome Geo" Sanders to the Parish

Council. Having lived in the village for 20 years Geo" has seen many changes and

takes a keen interest in the social well-being and progression of our Parish.

Speeding through the village. We mentioned in the last newsletter that the Parish

courage safer road use. We are now looking at plans to provide three pairs of white

gates in the village. The gates make it obvious that motorists are entering a village

with residential properties and are proven to be effective in reducing speed.

A46. Proposed Improvements are in the very early stages of discussion. The Parish

Council are unable to take forward any issues, concerns or ideas before a public

Longer, darker nights. Just a reminder to check the security of your property, out-

buildings, sheds etc. Make sure security lights are working and locks are secure.

Parish Post Box. Do you have an issue, concern or an idea you’d would like the Par-

ish Council to know about or help with? Please use the Parish Council Post Box, out-

side the village hall. We respond to all le)ers with addresses.

Christmas The not so quick six Quiz !

1. Just how many gifts did my true love bring?

2. Who was Pauntley’s famous son ?

3. Broadway has its namesake over the pond but what defines a Broadway

Theatre?

4. Whereabouts would you find Wicuene?

5. What was known as frumenty?

6. And mumming?

DID YOU KNOW!

Boar’s head was the main dish for medieval noblemen to have on the

table, served decked with rosemary and with an apple or orange in its

mouth. The French calendar dated between 1413 - 1416, ‘Les très riches

heures du Duc de Berry’, shows a boar hunting scene for December. The

boar was the enemy of farmers as it would trample crops, but there is a

legend that man learnt to plough by watching a boar root with his tusks in

the ground, then realising how fertile that patch of ground became. A

boar’s head carol sung at St John’s College, Oxford, bemoans the damage

done to crops by the boar. Later on the boar’s head was replaced by a

gilded peacock as the dish to serve at Christmas.

STRICTLY RETURNS TO CHILDSWICKHAM

To all that may be interested. I am going to start the Strictly Ballroom and Latin dancing practice/social club again in the Village Hall. I expect to charge £4 per head. All surplus funds will be donated to a bell maintenance fund. The bell team are hoping to raise funds for new ropes and bell maintenance thus avoiding requesting money from the church and making ourselves financially self sufficient. I plan to do this every 3rd Sunday in the month between 7:30 and 9:30 commencing November. Tea/coffee and homemade cakes will be provided during the evening/break period by Karen Tibbets (I hope she knows lol. You can thank Tony for this kind offer Karen). All levels are welcome including complete novices. I can give some very basic tuition on the basic/beginner moves. We will warm up and down with a bit of Salsa. If interested please

contact me on 853532 or 07946 603 224 for further details/express any

interest. Please pass the word around.

HARVEST FESTIVAL. CHILDSWICKHAM.

Willersey Willersey C of E Primary School The first half term of the new school year has been action packed as always. The children in class 1 have enjoyed their forest school learning activities for the first half term. They have taken part in bug hunting, using magnifying glasses, studying the habitat using binoculars, listening for birds and mud painting! This is a valuable learning experience, using the wonderful local environ-ment in the village. The class 2 children produced a ‘play in a day’ at the beginning of term, focussing on mindfulness and issues around mental health and wellbeing. This was led by a drama teacher from Konflux theatre and the children produced a wonderful drama presentation after only a few hours of intensive work. They have also been learning about the United States of America as part of the ‘America’ topic. This has included studying the American election procedures as well as a carrying out a vote – all very topical! Our Bishops Visitor Sue Padfield visited the school at the beginning of term and commented on the busy classrooms and the displays as well as the enthusiasm and commitment of the children. She joined us for the first main worship of the school year focussing on the value of ‘Generosity.’ Our Floorball team have been in action with matches against a variety of local schools. This is a ‘transition year’ in terms of new players, but all are determined players with a real willingness to take part and improve their skills. We have been training for the first cross-country event of the year with some running around the Recre-ation Ground in the village, learning how to pace yourself when running a longer distance as well as how to warm up before the race and cool down afterwards. We are developing our school as a ‘Maths loving school’ to ensure that children really enjoy the challeng-es and wonder of maths. There have been lots of activities inside and outside the classroom with the aim of really getting to grips with all the understanding of numbers (including some very large numbers) to help with solving tricky and challenging problems coming up shortly. Our after-school clubs have begun with good numbers of participants – the clubs include floorball, na-ture club, homework, singing, art and multi-sports. Several children won a poetry competition organised by The Dogs’ Trust and the lucky winners attended the opening ceremony at the new buildings in Wickhamford. They had a tour of the wonderful new facili-ties and were very impressed with the new kennels for the dogs as well as the dogs’ playground (complete with water fountain!) We have been very pleased to welcome our Open the Book team again this term. The time spent listen-ing to Bible stories and singing some hilarious action songs is a special time of the week. If you would like to see the school in action, please do contact us – you will be assured of a very warm welcome! Telephone number: (01386)852646 Mark Jackson Head Teacher

The practice of yoga is an art and science dedicated to creating union between body, mind and spirit. Its objective is to assist the practitioner in using the breath and body to foster an awareness of ourselves as individualized beings intimately connected to the unified whole of creation. In short it is about making balance and creating equanimity so as to live in peace, good health and harmony with the greater whole. This art of right living was perfected and practiced in India thousands of years ago and the foundations of yoga philosophy were written down in The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, approximately 200 AD
