Editor’s Letter...

Sincere apologies to anyone who missed the opportunity to have their bin emptied due to the notice in last month’s Arrow. The Arrow had already gone to print when the strike was called off! Lesson Learned!

With only eight weeks till Christmas, everything is in full throttle once more, this month’s Arrow has lots of local fayres in November and December so be sure to check them out, they are always good to visit and you can pick up some great stocking fillers! Our local village pubs are all offering Christmas fayre menus throughout December and Walkers Nurseries and Ramada Encore Hotel are offering special Christmas events that need to be booked in advance. All the information is in this month’s issue.

Talking about local Pubs, The Eagle and Child in Auckley was awarded pub of the week by the Yorkshire Post in October. The pub was judged for its food, atmosphere and value, all of which were rated highly. Congratulations!

Heritage Fireplaces are offering a winter warming 10 percent of all orders taken before 31st December with this month’s Arrow, if you are looking to update your fire or surround, give them a call or pop into their new show room on Balby Road.

All this talk about Christmas and we still have November to get through! With the half term holiday eating into November, Christmas can feel a long way off! If you are planning your own Guy Fawkes evening, Hydroactive have a great range of fireworks with special offers available and Maise Maze will have their ever popular Shriek week to entertain the children.

Thank you to Barbara and staff at Branton Post Office for their help in selling the tickets. They were a sell out within two days! Photographs may be in the next edition of the Arrow.

Finningley Village Community Group wishes to apologise for the late cancellation of the Antiques and Collectables Evening which was scheduled for Saturday 20th of October. Unfortunately there were very few tickets sold, most to Community Group members, and it was decided that it was not a viable proposition as we could not cover the financial outlay for cheese, wine etc. Any tickets purchased will of course receive a full refund. We are sorry for any disappointment or inconvenience this has caused but every attempt was made to contact those people who had purchased tickets prior to Saturday evening.

40’s EVENING

St Oswald's Church in Finningley organised a ‘40’s Evening’ event on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th October to help raise funds for the church restoration fund. The ticket only event sold out quickly and proved to be a huge success with requests for an additional date next year!!!

One of the organisers, Jean Mell said ‘Friends of St Oswald's Church Finningley would like to thank all those who supported our 40’s Evening. We had a fantastic time and an evening full of fun and laughter and we raised the sum of £1600 pounds towards our Restoration Fund. We are already thinking of next year so watch this space!’

Well done to everyone who helped to organise this fund raising event, plans and preparations will have taken many hours. The event was so successful due to your huge enthusiasm.

Poppy Appeal

2012

This year, the Poppy Appeal begins on 27th October and once again, I am asking for help with door to door collecting in Blaxton and Finningley. Last year, we collected £948.32 from our efforts, but we one of our volunteers has left the area.

I was delighted that we raised 5387.53 in Auckly, Blaxton, Branton and Finningley combined including £101.75 that was gift aided. I appeal to tax payers to ask for a gift aid envelope if they are donating £2.00 or more.

Thank you for helping us raise a record amount last year. Please help us to raise as much this year!

For more information on helping with collections, please contact.

AUCKLEY PARISH COUNCIL COMMUNITY CONSULTATION—Neighbourhood

Plans

The Government’s Localism Act introduced the concept of Neighbourhood Planning: a bottom-up approach to planning for the future of an area led by the community.

Communities now have a real opportunity to develop plans and shape proposals for the places in which they live.

The purpose of Neighbourhood Planning is to give local people greater ownership of the plans and policies that affect their local area. The intention is to empower local people to take a proactive role in shaping the future of their village. Once in place, the plans will comprise the framework for change in that area for the next ten years.

A Neighbourhood Plan could help to ensure that development is in line with local needs, providing greater public amenity and more certainty for developers. A Neighbourhood Plan would be able to identify a specific site or broad location, specify the form, size, type and design of new development.

The parish council can initiate a Neighbourhood Plan if residents feel there is a need and would set up a Forum of interested residents, together with some councillors, to take a Plan forward.

Doncaster Council has a duty to support communities in the production of Neighbourhood Plans, e.g. advising on the nature of the plan area, assisting and facilitating consultation. However there is no requirement to provide financial assistance. The cost of the Plan will depend upon its size, scope and complexity and the Government estimates this could be upwards of £17k to produce. The timescale for producing a Plan could take up to 2 years.

The parish council would be interested to hear residents’ views as to whether it should proceed with the implementation of a Plan and also whether any resident would wish to became part of that process.

Please let us know your views by contacting any members of the parish council and/or the Clerk, contact details below: Clerk: Mrs Marjorie Caygill, Telephone: 01302 770922 E-mail: marj.caygill@doncaster.co.uk

News from Hayfield Lane Primary School Exciting and fantastic news from the Hayfield Lane Primary School.

It was with great delight back in the summer when the Vulcan Spirit to the Sky trust agreed that our school could use the Vulcan as our new School Logo.

So, on the afternoon of Thursday 27th September all the children, teaching staff and some governors made their way down to the hanger of Vulcan XH558, this was to secure our connexions with the Vulcan and to launch our new school uniform along with our new badge of the Vulcan XH 558. This is renewing our past School heritage when Hayfield Lane Primary School would have been the school used by children of service personnel when the current site was the operational V-bomber base - RAF Finningley.

When we arrived at the hanger there was waiting a BBC film crew, reporters and photographers from the local press and radio. We had a wonderful time with the BBC news reporter filming our prestigious visit to which was later shown that night on the Look North News. The children had an exciting afternoon in the hanger looking at and exploring the huge frame of the aircraft and had opportunity to take their own special photographs.

Various members of the crew were on hand to answer their questions and to let the children know exactly what it is that they do. Local MP Caroline Flint was also on hand to help the launch, she and our head teacher Mrs Round presented the Trust with a school pennant that will be flown in XH558 from now on.

The Vulcan has become a familiar sight around our school but on one exciting afternoon Vulcan XH558 had got permission from air traffic control at the airport to do a special low level fly-past over the school. So with great anticipation and excitement the children waited in the playground when with a tingling roar the aircraft came over the top of the school and was a sight to behold, all these experiences will be something the children will be talking about for a long time to come.

News From Branton St Wilfrid’s Primary School Visit by the South Yorkshire Mounted Police We were delighted to welcome the South Yorkshire Mounted Police who visited us with two police horses (George) Oakwell and (Eddy) Edlington. Each class had an opportunity to learn about the work of the mounted police and their horses and how important it is to wear high visibility clothing when out on the roads, either on horses or bicycles. The children were encouraged to make lots of noise and jump up and down in front of the horses as the police officers demonstrated how well trained George and Eddy are. They demonstrated their skills of moving forwards, backwards and sideways to control large crowds. At break time the whole school enjoyed watching the horses canter around our field. The visit was organised by our road safety officer, Judith, who kindly provided road safety rewards for each class.

Jubilate News We were delighted at Jubilate to be invited to St James Church, Hexthorpe to sing at the launch of the Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child 2012.

Twenty four members of Jubilate sang a selection of our favourite hymns and led the communal singing at the end of the night. Samaritans Purse are hoping to have sent over 1 million shoeboxes in total to children around the world who would otherwise not receive a present, by the end of 2012.

Jubilate would like to thank everyone who helped us on the night, and Mrs Gravette from St James Church for asking us to sing at this event again next year. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

Mrs Dilks and Mrs Thompson

Harvest Festival In our Harvest Festival this year we continued with our Olympics theme. Each class chose a country which was represented at The London Olympic Games and gave a short presentation about different food traditionally eaten in that country. We had a feast table decorated with the Olympic rings and a chef from each country took their food to the table where the “athletes” were sitting with their flags. We had our traditional harvest table, with many generous donations from parents. The sale of goods following the Harvest service raised £335 for Christian Aid, with remaining produce being donated to the M25 charity in Doncaster.

Playtime Equipment We have a very proactive Parent Teachers’ Association at St. Wilfrid’s. During the year they organise many exciting events for the children and also raise large amounts of money during the year to extend and enrich the opportunities available to children in school.

Recently our P.T.A. funded £800 worth of playground equipment for the children to use during playtimes and lunchtimes. The children have begun to use all the new equipment with great enthusiasm

THE YORKSHIRE WILDLIFE PARK!!

On Monday 1st October class 5 went on a school trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We started off the day by going to see the lions. We also saw zebras and also the emus, ostriches, antelopes and two bulls. After that, we went to watch the meerkat ranger talk and we saw a ranger called Emma feeding them fruit and vegetables. We also had a talk in the classroom, where we learnt about some endangered species.

After lunch we went to the wallabies. They were cute and also Ryan the ranger let us stroke them and feed them carrots. Next we went to the red river hogs, which are orangey pigs, they kept on snorting at us and they were really funny to watch when they were rolling in the mud!

We then went to see the marmosets, who were running and hopping in the cage, and the camels. Next we went and found our way to the new giraffes. Finally, we went up to the Leopard Heights, where we saw the leopards sat on the climbing area!

Class 5 had a great time at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park! By Jemima Holt and Lucy Phillips

YEAR 2’s VISIT TO THE HEPWORTH GALLERY, WAKEFIELD

On Tuesday 9th of October Year 2 went to The Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield. It was part of our Science week work and we were looking at materials as part of our Science curriculum in the classroom. We were met by Bryony who was taking our workshop ‘Fabulous Felt.’ We went straight into the studios were Bryony explained what we would be doing and then we went to work in the galleries upstairs.

Then we went back downstairs to create our own felt. The results were fantastic and the children really enjoyed the visit. One child said “That was the best school trip ever!”

We hope you enjoyed reading our news and look forward to sharing more of our activities next month.

Best Wishes, C. Barnes,

Auckley School News

Kelham Island Museum On Tuesday 25th September, year 3 made the journey back to 1939 and to Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield.

We had become war-time children! We experienced what rationing was like, we made gas masks and had a go at packing a very small suitcase to become an evacuee. The underwear was very fetching, as you can see. We also looked at some of the very new jobs that women had to do and had a go at running an RAF Operations Room.

We learnt a lot about the Second World War and realised how lucky we are to live in Doncaster in 2012.

We all really enjoyed the trip and looked fantastic in our wartime outfits.

NSPCC Sponsored Event

A big thank you to everyone who supported this event by sponsoring the children. As a school we managed to raise an amazing £18 so thank you very much.

Roald Dahl Day

We have been celebrating Roald Dahl Day by dressing up as Roald Dahl characters and having a creative day. Every year group took part and made something to help make our library a more attractive place to visit. We had visits from his characters, made giant pictures, created dances, banners, posters, and models to sit on the shelves. The library now looks fantastic and is an inviting place to go and read. We also had a great day creating it!

Bike it comes to Auckley

We held a Bike It Breakfast and Dr Bike on Wednesday 3 rd October to launch bike it in at Auckley School; which was a great success. We had over 68 children travelling to school on their bikes with many parents cycling with them. There were sausage sandwiches or toast for those who had cycled. The smoothie bike was there and we took it in turns to have a go and make their our own smoothies. We want children to keep travelling to school on their bikes and will have many more events throughout the year. Our next event is going to be a Get Bright Day on Monday 22 nd October as we want children to decorate themselves and their bikes in bright colours to keep them safe while riding.

The Generation Game Now I’ve really started to settle in one of the things I’m enjoying most about being a Curate here is that the job brings me into contact with a really broad age range of people on a daily basis.

In October I took part in the 1940’s night at St Oswald’s in Finningley and the rehearsals for this were a real eye opener for me. I had to learn lots of songs from an era I was almost completely unfamiliar with and I performed alongside many people who told me great stories of their experiences of growing up in wartime Britain - my favourite one of which was from a lady who was actually born in an air raid shelter!

Two days later I found myself at 1st Doncaster Brownies who meet in Auckley Parish Centre.

Together we talked about how Christians believe that God doesn’t want us to worry about frivolous things like fashion and our appearance but to always look at what He has provided for us and to be thankful. It was really lovely to do a craft activity with the girls, which involved them thinking carefully about what they most wanted to thank God for. Their ideas were highly creative and ranged from families and friends to pets and, believe it or not, school!

I feel valuing all our differing generations is massively important, as it was in the Bible. The Old Testament tells the story of Abraham who fathered the seven sons who went on to found the nation of Israel where God’s word was passed on from generation to generation. Then in the book of Acts we can read about the establishment of the early church through the passing on of Jesus’s teaching from the eye witnesses of his work and miracles and those who were directly effected by his ministry.

Ultimately, whatever our age, whatever stage of life we are in, as a Christian I believe God has a plan for all our lives. It says in the book of Jeremiah that the Lord declares ‘I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’ and I feel this hopeful message counts as much for our current generation as it did when it was first written.
