Editors Letter...

Peel investments have been granted permission via Doncaster Council to build 750 homes together with roads, footpaths and play areas on 46 acres of land off Hurst Lane, near Robin Hood Airport. This will have a huge impact on the villages, some positive, some negative. Blaxton village has around 500 homes, Finningley Village has approximately 650 homes, Auckley Main and Hayfield together make up another 1350 approximately. A further 750 homes will provide a community bigger than most surrounding villages.

There are special conditions attached which involves large investment from Peel towards the Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme, as well as a possible investment in a new primary school to accommodate children in the area and other local business projects.

The arrow would be interested in hearing your views. Please e-mail me at my address below.

On a lighter note, you will read how we have our very own Ice skating star in the making. Molly Lanaghan, from Branton and a pupil at Hayfield School, has already won countless trophies and competitions including the prestigious ‗The UK‘s Most Promising Skater Award‘. We may very well have an Olympic star in our midst.

Well done Molly and we wish you all the very best in your promising career.

Branton St Wilfrid’s C.E. Primary School The end of the Autumn term now seems a long time ago, but in spite of the snow we still managed to complete our full range of Christmas activities. We moved our Christmas Fair forward a week and, as usual, the children worked incredibly hard during ‘Factory Week’ to make a huge variety of craft items including homemade crackers, biscuits, candle holders, wind chimes, fridge magnets, badges and decorations. The children worked out how much the raw materials cost, and took into account the time each item had taken to make, in order to set their costs-so we could have some budding apprentices for Lord Sugar in the making! As well as parents and relatives of the school many members of our local community joined us and we raised an amazing £1429 so thank you very much for your support.

‘Red Riding Hood’ After the Christmas holiday the children had a treat to look forward to on their return to school. A touring theatre company visited school on the first afternoon back to give a wonderful performance of ‘Red Riding Hood’. This visit was funded by our wonderful Parent Teacher Association.

Our Greek Story telling and Puppet Making Day In Class 3 we have been learning about the Ancient Greeks. Some visitors came into school and told us the story of Odysseus. We learnt about gods like Zeus and Poseidon and goddesses like Athene and Aphrodite. In the afternoon we chose a Greek figure to be and made a puppet of them. Some children chose to make monsters like the one eyed Cyclops and the beautiful singing sirens.

Other characters were Odysseus and his men Aeolus, Hermes, Helios, Circe, Calypso and Poseidon. We performed a puppet show for the Infants, telling the story of Odysseus and some of his adventures.

We all enjoyed the day and learned lots about the Ancient Greeks.

By Ben and Jemima, Class 3

Class 5’s Day with Henry VIII On Monday 10th January Class 5 had a visit from Henry VIII! He gave us lots of facts about Henry VIII and he told us about how he lived like a king.

First, Henry VIII told us about himself and gave Class 5 photos. We learned that Henry VIII’s father Henry VII defeated Richard III and took the throne so Henry VIII became king after him. Then we made a paper wing of an eagle and an owl. We cut feathers in it. You can just hold it up and drop it, then it glides without you having to throw it!

Next, we practised walking like a royal and we wrote with quills and ink. Henry VIII also taught us a Tudor dance which we performed at the end of the day.

Class 5 really enjoyed their day with Henry VIII and learned lots of interesting facts!

By Connor and Sam, Class 5

We hope you have enjoyed reading some of our school news from the last month.

On Thursday 6th January, y7 pupils from Hayfield School took part in a Curriculum Day which was all about languages.

The activities ranged from cooking French crêpes and German Kaiserschmarrn, to creating a comic strip. Other activities during the day included designing packaging for the food, producing a poster advertising the food and a shopping list showing the ingredients and prices. Finally at the end of the day all the year group took part in a Spelling Bee where the best two spellers in French and German in each tutor group went head-to-head to compete for the title of Spelling Bee champion!

Everyone enjoyed taking part in the activities and would definitely participate in another languages Curriculum Day! Our favourite activity of the day was cooking as we got to eat the crêpes and Kaiserschmarrn at the end. When the cooking was finished there was also a race to see who could clear up the fastest.

The day was a great success; everyone loved it and had a great time!

Auckley Parish Council Newsletter February/March 2011 Carols Round the Tree The annual carol singing round the Christmas tree was held on Tuesday, 21 st December 2010. In spite of the Arctic weather conditions, a number of brave souls turned out to sing carols, ably accompanied by the Armthorpe Elmfield Band. A collection made the sum of £52.34 towards Comforts for Patients at Doncaster Royal Infirmary‘s Coronary Care Unit. Council wishes to thank the Armthorpe Elmfield Band for their valiant efforts in freezing conditions, Mr. John Foster who was a splendid Santa, and members of the public who supported this event.

Dog Fouling Council is very concerned that a number of individuals are allowing dogs in their charge to foul the Riverside Park and subsequently making no attempt to clean up afterwards. Members of the public who wish to help are asked to ring Doncaster Council‘s Customer Services Hotline on: 01302 736000 as soon as possible if they witness anyone who does not clear up after their dogs and report: the name and address of the person in charge of the dog, a description of the dog, the circumstances, date, time and place of offence. Alternatively you can email a message to: customer.services@doncaster.gov.uk DMBC‘s Enforcement Officers will also be monitoring the situation and are permitted to issue a fixed penalty fine of £50. Furthermore, Magistrates can impose a fine of up to £1,000 on offenders for nonpayment of a fixed penalty fine or for being uncooperative when approached.

Removal of Bus Shelter at Main Street Council is negotiating with the landowner who has been very helpful and supports Council‘s proposal to replace the bus shelter. Hopefully a satisfactory conclusion will be reached.

Ice Skating Queen Molly Lanaghan ‘Winner of the UK’s Most Promising Skater Award’

Talented local, Molly Lanaghan from Branton started skating just three years ago and immediately came to the attention of coaches at Ice Sheffield.

After just seven months, Molly skated in her first national competition and won gold medal in all three events of her solo ice dance competition, then went on to win her first national title, ‗Juvenile Ice Dance Champion‘.

Molly started the next season winning gold and silver medals at nationals around the UK. This season closed with Molly winning a medal in the British solo dance championships, and again, winning her second national title of Novice ladies solo dance championships.

In May 2009, Molly was introduced to figure skating, where she found the jumps and spins exhilarating and loved the challenge!

Molly won one gold and silver in beginner levels, and moved straight onto level 2. Molly has taken gold and silver medals in lots of nationals, Telford, Bracknell, Milton Keynes, and Teeside. Molly was awarded the prestigious title of the UK‘s most promising skater award, another great addition to her achievements. In May this year, Molly skated her first IJS scoring system, (International Judging System) and achieved her first ever score of 21.23, and is now focused on continuously improving her personal best.

Molly was selected to represent Great Britain this year in Milan Italy, a huge experience for an 11year old, and achieved her personal best with an amazing 34.25!

Molly finished this years season as a level 6 ladies figure skater and has again won gold medal in Dundee nationals.

Her coach says ‗Molly has great passion for this sport, she shows tremendous self discipline and work ethic for her age, she trains 2-4 hours a day 5 times a week. We look forward to watching Molly develop in the coming years, and achieve her dream of going to Olympics for her country.

Doncaster Advanced Motorists Road Signs Dear Readers,

The ending of the red flag requirement in 1896 heralded the ear of the motorcar and some motoring associations took up the business of placing signs. The Motor Car Act of 1903 made local authorities responsible for placing certain warning and propitiatory signs. For crossroads steep hills and dangerous bends.

A hollow red triangle indicated a warning sign a solid red disc signified prohibitions. Speed limit signs had a hollow white ring above the plate giving the speed limit in figures. Other notices were on diamond shaped boards.

Advanced Drivers know what all road signs mean and update their knowledge from time to time with a glance from the Highway Code. Road signs are the shape they are because, even if you can‘t see the sign clearly, say in fog / snow or heavy rain, you‘ll still know when you see a triangular sign that there may be a significant hazard ahead.

That‘s why the Stop sign is shaped octagonal like the fifty pence coin.

If it‘s covered in snow or traffic dirt you still will be able to tell what the sign is by its shape, a Stop sign.

All warning signs are triangular. Advisory signs are rectangular. Round signs are ―the law‖ you must do what they say.

Don‘t ignore them, road signs are there for a reason they provide advanced information to help you avoid danger. You should be extra vigilant about some signs, like those warning signs of schools nearby, as they may indicate a 20mph speed limit ahead.

A pole with two or more signs on it should be read from the top down the top sign being the first hazard.

Also don‘t ignore farmer‘s signs eg: Mud on the road or PYOS, yes (pick your own strawberry‘s) you may find extra traffic movement and pedestrians around the entrance to the field.

The provision of new signs is a continuous process. As the volume and type of traffic on our roads change, ways of giving essential information to drivers and improving traffic flow and road safety have to be reviewed.

New signs and road markings are well and truly tested at certain locations to demonstrate their effectiveness before their wide-scale use is recommended. Special signals and road markings at pedestrian crossings and signs and markings to indicate minroundabouts and bus lanes ect: it‘s an ongoing research program by the Highways Agency.

If you are interested in the courses that we offer, you‘ll be able to find this information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk or Tel: 020 8996 9600 Safe Driving, Paul Tuke.

St Saviours, Auckley

St Oswald’s & Holy Trinity, Finningley

Happy Easter!

My parents rang me the other day, nothing unusual in that, they ring me each week. However, the opening topic of conversation was unusual and surprising.

You see, it was the first week of January, and following the plague of locusts that had eaten their way through their supplies, also known by their Latin name ‗grandchildrenus maximus’ my parents needed to visit the supermarket to re-stock. To their great surprise they found Easter eggs and hot cross buns on display! Granted, they live in Cheshire and it can be a little odd, however, as I recall they‘re not yet using their own calendar...or were they?!

So, my phone call early in January began with, “You’ll never guess what we saw in the supermarket the other day!” and they were right, after 45 minutes of guessing, I had failed to get the right answer, although I did discover there were some interesting offers on hair dye and ladies tights!

I was so perturbed I set of to look at another large supermarket near Doncaster town centre. I know, we vicars lead such interesting lives. Anyway, shock, horror, right next to the security desk they were selling hot cross buns! It was all too much, it appears that Yorkshire too is experimenting with a new calendar, and in addition, they‘re having to provide extra security for their pastries!

Joking aside, most of the major supermarkets are indeed currently selling hot cross buns, and some Easter eggs, albeit the small variety. As the Christmas season ends and we start a new year, they need to employ new marketing plans. Interestingly, Easter is just about as late as it can be this year as it falls on Sunday 24 th April, and so it looks like hot cross buns and Easter eggs will be around for the next 3 months! Although, I suspect already that we will find a generous sprinkling of Valentine‘s Day cards and presents!

Why am I telling you all this? Because, I believe we can, without realising, be taken through the year too quickly as we move from one area of focus to another – Christmas to Easter to Summer Holidays to Christmas again. Then, the bits in between lose their own identity, and can pass us by. A friend of mine works in Pakistan, and since moving there he says he‘s become far more aware of the seasons and times of the year, because the food is very seasonal. He feels that time seems to pass slower, and that he appreciates what‘s around him far more.

God gave us a fantastic world to live in, with so much beauty in nature and people. Soon, the snow drops will be popping up, they will be short lived so try not to miss them.

Blessings
