Dear Editor,

Whilst watching the funeral o f our late Queen Elizabeth II last week I suddenly realised that no w we have a King Charles III in Buckingham Palace I had lived through the reigns o f 5 monarchs, 4 kings (inc. Charles III) and our late Queen When I was telling my children this and that I can vaguely remember: No. 1 funeral o f George V in 1936 (I think?) Newspapers with black edges, cur tains closed, and on News at local cinema during half time ( Remember the organ at half time ) No 2 Edward VIII who abdicated, No 3 George VI, No 4 Queen Elizabeth II

No. 5 King Charles III

It did cross my mind that it would be interesting to kno w ho w many o ther local residents are still abou t and remember back this far, I am sure there are quite a number. What a lo t o f histor y o f no t only local bu t the world around us these nonagenarians must have seen in their 90+ years, I being one o f them, f ind it quite amazing and gratifying that we have lived this long and seen so many changes to our way o f life

(Central heating Changed my life!)

Dear Editor,

As No vember brings with it the colder weather and darker evenings, many o f our wildlife will be busy making shelters and homes among our garden leaves and hedges

I would like to remind people, especially those enjo ying bonf ire night celebrations the impor tance o f checking beneath their bonf ires for any wildlife, especially hedgehogs before lighting any f ires.

Many thanks Brenda Fisher.

Dear Editor,

Thanks to your mar vellous work and the publishing o f my letter in your October issue with regards to my family's long lost Piano Stool which has no w been found and returned! It had been bought by Peter and Susan (pictured with me) o f Arlesey, to replace their o wn which had been wrecked by a remo val company earlier in the year As ours was missing because o f a remo val company in the f irst place, we had some surprisingly similar tales o f woe to share!

Thankfully Peter and Susan were extremely understanding and more than willing to return it to us This has been a huge sigh o f relief for my Dad and for the whole family. This result was only possible because o f this publication, and I can't thank ever yone involved enough, especially Peter and Susan for reaching ou t and to The Arlesey News Magazine for publishing my f irst letter and being a point o f contact

Many thanks once again Mr G. Frost

Editor no te: We were thrilled to be able to help publicise this and help locate it for Mr Frost. We do lo ve a happy ending. Thanks to Peter & Susan for being so understanding and accommodating

News from Gothic Mede Academy

Forest School has arrived!

We are so lucky to no w be using our Forest School. All our reception children have lessons ou tside on a Thursday. The sheer excitement is magical!

Forest School pro vides a specialised learning approach that o ffers children regular oppor tunities to achieve and develop conf idence and self esteem through hands on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.

Why is it benef icial for children to attend Forest School?

• It develops self regulation skills

• Children build resilience and learn f rom failure

• Children gain a sense o f achievement

• It increases mo tivation and concentration

• It impro ves problem solving

We are so excited to have this facility here at Go thic Mede and to see the children benef iting f rom this great experience

Go thic Mede went global last week as we threw ourselves into European Day o f Languages with excitement and enthusiasm Members o f our school community came into classes to give the children a taste (literally in some cases!) o f different languages and cultures

Our visitors taught us words and rhymes in a range o f languages f rom Spanish to Gujurati, French to Philipino and Romanian to Turkish It was lo vely to see children reading greetings in different languages around the school and our beau tiful flags f rom around the world made us all feel par t o f a global community Here's what some o f our children had to say:

Dexter, “We learnt words f rom different languages. This is good because when you go to a different place you can learn languages and talk to different people”

Siyana, “We go t to tr y chocolate wafers f rom the Philippines. It was really interesting because you get to kno w abou t o ther people and abou t their countries.”

Henr y, “I really enjo yed the special visitors who came. Some o f them gave us some yummy food. No w if we go to those countries we kno w what food we can eat. We had madeleines. I really want to learn French. I’m already quite good at it"

The children at Go thic Mede enjo ying the benef its o f Forest School Belo w, some o f the ar twork created during the European Day o f languages.

News from Pix Brook Academy

The f irst half term at PBA is complete and it has been a whirlwind o f activity Having welcomed our new pupils into the school it was amazing to see ho w quickly they settled and immediately felt par t o f the school

Schools are amazing places I think we all kno w this bu t on occasion I have to remind myself that the breadth and depth o f activities and conversations at schools is remarkable I guess this should come as no surprise, young people are full o f ideas, questions, suggestions, comments and occasionally bizarre thoughts, bu t that is what makes schools so vibrant As teachers our job is to tr y to manage this enthusiasm, give it an oppor tunity to flourish while ensuring it does no t take o ver No t always an easy task

As we mo ve through the academic year the new year star ts it is great to get into the rhy thm o f its o wn. Spor ting f ixtures have star ted, young voices is going o ther clubs are busy and the school feels so different f rom just a year or two ago. We have just under 600 pupils and they are all immersing themselves into the life o f the school. It has also been great to welcome so many new staff to the school. Ever y new person brings something different, Harr y Po tter club did no t exist last year and it is a great example o f ho w something can be added with the right person. On Thursday 3rd No vember we look for ward to our Open evening. The school will be able to have parents/carers and children into school to sho w the facilities and work o f the children. We will also be o ffering parents and carers an oppor tunity to tour the school during the school day in the two weeks follo wing the open evening.

With the multitude o f activities coming our way it is really impor tant to remember “ the main thing is the main thing”! The education o f our pupils, the focus on teaching and learning and the constant desire to enable pupils to make progress and achieve their po tential is our purpose This is a full time job and while it can occasionally no t feel like it I remind all our staff regularly no t to lose sight o f this imperative As adults is it also wor th remembering that young people are no t the f inished ar ticle, and our task during their formative years is to help them reach their po tential by focussing on those things that will impro ve their life chances: the main thing, their education Next time I write we will be talking abou t Christmas!

News from Etonbury Academy

It’s fantastic to see so many children attending the clubs, making new f riends and learning new skills As well as numerous spor ts clubs our staff are running clubs for engineering, mindfulness, debating, dance, chess, yoga, basketball and rock band, there is something for ever yone. Our trips have also star ted with our Year 7s heading o ff to Weymou th for their long awaited PGL adventure trip, soon to be follo wed by our Year 5s going on their residential too. We were delighted to welcome teachers f rom Roecro ft and St Mar y’s who came to see ho w well the children they previously taught have settled.

We held our f irst Full Go verning Body meeting this term with a walkaround through Juniors and the Secondar y School

The Go vernors were really pleased to see ho w well the Year 5 children have settled and in such a shor t space o f time We are in no doubt that the transition work in the Summer term with the suppor t o f our lo wer schools has given the children this excellent star t. In Secondar y, Go vernors saw equally focused and calm lessons. Our prospective parents continue to be sho wn around in the same way, and see the same high standards across the school.

We have been raising awareness o f Mental Health in suppor t o f the national campaign and welcomed PoetsIN, a charity pro viding workshops to suppor t children and adults. The assemblies pro vided thought pro voking insights for our students and staff to look after themselves and o thers too

Are you concerned about the property market?

Arlesey say’s Thank You John..

Lifelong Arlesey resident John Savor y will be a familiar face to ever yone in the village, reno wned for his incredible effor ts in keeping the village in tip top condition. Usually found armed with a litter picker and a few bags o f rubbish, there is ver y little John can’t tell you abou t the issues that Arlesey face when it comes to keeping the village litter f ree

Recently, local residents decided that John’s effor ts deser ved some well needed recognition and together with the po wer o f a local social media site, set up a fundraising page through which residents could make donations to thank John for his continued hard work

One o f the organisers Gar y Wijsveld told the Arlesey News Magazine ho w he felt compelled to help in the effor ts to give back to John on behalf o f Arlesey residents “I used to see John on his usual rou te most days and o ften mar velled at ho w hard he worked keeping our village tidy ” “It has been an absolu te pleasure to be able to reward John and his family with a ver y small token o f our appreciation ”

Over £1000 was raised by local residents and was presented to John alongside a cer tif icate designed by Sarah Colley for him to keep as a momento. As was expected, John was incredibly o ver whelmed at the kindness and generosity sho wn by Arlesey residents (you can see John’s letter o f thanks on our letters page this month )

Congratulations to John and also to the community o f Arlesey for sho wing such incredible community spirit to one o f Arlesey’s f inest keep up the great work John, it is obvious that it is ver y much appreciated!

News from Arlesey Methodist Chapel

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has no t o vercome it ” Jn 1v5

In our annual Remembrance ser vices, I am always mo ved by the words “We will remember them” It’s a commitment given all who ser ve in the armed forces Remembering can be happy or painful Remembering can be diff icult, or may be becoming impossible Sometimes a piece o f music or a f ragrance will pro voke memor y I am learning ho w to sketch I have disco vered that this helps me remember the beau ty o f the things that I’m for tunate enough to see I did a rough watercolour sketch o f poppies that I saw in the garden at Hatf ield House A pho to that I took didn’t capture the impression that they had upon me, bu t the sketch evokes more memor y, the light o f the sunshine caught in the petals and shimmering through the stems I think it’s because I invested some time, albeit shor t, in making it

Remembrance is an investment Our shared rituals, or those that we carr y ou t privately, cement impor tant structures into our existence Whether they are a ceremony, or a flo wer, or ar t, poetr y or music or a combination, they strengthen us, helping us to mo ve through loss or injur y or times o f darkness Faith is par t o f that too John’s Gospel describes Jesus Christ as the light o f the world: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has no t o vercome it ” The Gospel talks abou t a light that has been there f rom before the beginning o f time and space, one that darkness has never been able to extinguish. As we commit to our acts o f Remembrance this No vember, it’s good to reflect on the light that shines in our lives or maybe in our memories. May God enable us to use it to help each o ther through the darkness.

Her Majesty pu t mourning on the map

It is hard to believe that almost two months have passed since her Majesty the Queen died The extent o f national mourning was obser ved through the masses who queued for hours across London to pay their respects to this incredible woman

Whether a ro yalist or no t, most o f us felt the loss o f the Queen, who had previously always been there

Death, endings and loss impact us all and previous losses o ften resur face around new loss

This is natural and indicates to us that we need to give more attention to the emo tions we feel to honour and allo w them to pass through us withou t denial or suppression

There are o f course times that we must hold our inner experience within to maintain our external responsibilities Ho wever, the need for enough unencumbered space and time, f ree f rom usual activities, is essential for healthy grieving

When faced with physical injur y, we usually recognise the need for rest that enables the physical body to heal. Ho wever, it is still common for people to o verlook matters o f the hear t such as grief and loss despite these also requiring periods o f stillness and rest to facilitate the natural healing process. The death o f such a high pro f ile individual has seemingly bought the reality o f death as well as the process o f mourning ou t in to the open. We all lose people that we lo ve and our subsequent grief reflects the lo ve that was felt and lost.

The process o f mourning the death o f a lo ved one is as individual as the relationship between deceased and bereaved. The healthiest way to navigate personal or collective grief is to ackno wledge whatever thoughts and feelings accompany it, withou t judgement, whilst increasing levels o f self care, for grief can be emo tionally exhausting.
