Community News Kilham Hall News Tuesday Coffee Club held its annual MacMillan Coffee Morning on the 23rd September and raised a total of £211.45, all of which was sent to MacMillan Charity. It was a lovely morning and there was a special buzz in the atmosphere with everyone sampling the home baked produce on offer, along with their tea and coffee and usual biscuits. Thank you to all those who baked for the Cake Stall. Victoria sponges, Tray bakes, Cup cakes, Brownies, Scones, Millionaire’s shortbread; what a mouth watering deliciousness to tease our taste buds!! Paul and Mary would have been proud of our local efforts! Thank you, also, to all those who bought the calorie filled produce and enabled us to send such a worthwhile donation to MacMillan.

Next up, the children’s Hallowe’en Party will be taking place on Sunday November 2nd and the following evening will be the 5th Annual General Meeting of Kilham Hall committee. Members of the public are welcome to join the committee and the meeting will commence at 6.30pm in the office at Kilham Hall. The meeting will include a review of this past year and the re election of the committee. The AGM will be immediately followed by an ordinary meeting which will, however, not be open to the general public.

Thank you for your continued support of Kilham Hall and of its many activities.

Doncaster Health Walk Group In Branton!

I live in Branton and have recently done training, organised by the council, to lead walks for Walking for Health, a national scheme run by The Ramblers and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Doncaster Health Walks are perfect for those who would like to be more active or perhaps lack the confidence and knowledge about where to walk.

They are carefully designed to ensure that they are safe and suitable for all abilities and may help when people are recuperating from an illness.

Walks usually last from 30 minutes to one hour and I will plan walks for Monday's at 10am.

If you would like further details, please contact me on 07748559357.

Three Horseshoes Charity Race Night On 27th September we held a Charity Race Night to raise money for Doncaster Cancer Support Group and the Aurora Centre. They are both great local charities which help support those with Cancer, an illness which affects so many of us.

We held a raffle on the evening and thanks to some wonderful donations from local businesses, our raffle, along with the other bits of fund raising we did for the event meant we raised a cracking £2,000 for charity.

As I'm sure you can imagine for such a small village pub this is a fantastic amount and we would really like to shout about it. Big thank you to employee, Laraine Nithsdale, who put in an enormous amount of hard work when it came to sourcing the prizes, arranging the evening and counting all the penny pots.

News From Branton St Wilfrid’s CE Primary School October 2014 PTA Sponsored Bounce for Books

On 23rd September the whole school took part in a Sponsored event to raise money for books. The school had identified a number of areas where additional books are needed and our active PTA agreed to donate all funds from their Sponsored Bounce to the purchase of books. All the children took part and enjoyed a two minute bounce on a bouncy castle, in fact several staff were tempted to have a go too! Thank you to all who sponsored a child as the event has raised £1200 in pledges and we look forward to enjoying our new reading materials!

Harvest Festival

Thank you to all who attended our Harvest Festival on 6th October. The children performed readings, poems and songs to a packed house. Many thanks for all your generous harvest gifts which were sold off afterwards and raised £387.16 for Christian Aid. All unsold produce was donated to the M25 housing and support charity. Thanks to St Wilfrid’s Church for their donation of produce from their Harvest Festival and to Father Andrew who joined the school to lead prayer and the blessing.

Jubilate News Our worship group, Jubilate have had a very busy start to the year with two performances. Firstly they were invited to perform at St James’ Church, Hexthorpe to promote the Annual Shoebox Appeal. This charity distributes Christmas shoe box presents to children who live in areas experiencing severe hardship and provides for children who would not otherwise receive a Christmas present. Many of our children are now inspired to put together a shoe box and their performance was very well received. The refreshments and cakes and biscuits provided for the children afterwards went down very well!

Jubilate then took part in the Patronal Service on 12th October at St Wilfrid’s Church, Cantley. The Church was packed for a concelebrated Mass which was led by Bishop Glynn of Beverley. It was a fantastic occasion and once again our Jubilate group did the school proud, sang beautifully and represented Branton St Wilfrid’s so well. The buffet afterwards was possibly one of the highlights for the children, I think there is a common theme emerging linked to how much they enjoy their food! It was lovely to see so many parents at the service as it really confirmed the strong link the school and Church have.

As ever we look forward to reporting on our activities over the next month and would like to inform you of our Christmas Fair which is on Friday 5th December at 4.30 pm in the school hall and to which you are all welcome.

Miss C Oates, Head Teacher

A Change of Perspective

Any guesses as to what’s in this picture? The first time I saw it I thought it looked like some sort of military bunker. But then I was encouraged by someone to look at the object from a different perspective. I was told that the photograph is a closeup of something that’s only a few inches wide and something I would see whilst driving. It is of course a cat’s eye.

As soon as I was told what it was it became so obvious and being a person who drives between Maltby and Tickhill on a fairly regular basis at night I have often been thankful for the invention of this strange little object. They guide drivers along dark country roads, they show the way to slip-roads on motorways and provide much needed illumination without using any energy whatsoever. Simple but effective.

Darkness can be an unsettling thing. My Dad is partially sighted now and as such he lives in a world that even during the brightest days everything he sees is in constant shadow. He uses magnifiers and lamps in order to do the simplest things, such as make a cup of tea or read crossword clues. Because of his eye condition his vision is also distorted so the view he has of the world is very different to most people around him. Quite often nothing is what it seems.

There are all different types of darkness too. There is a saying that we can be deliberately kept in the dark when information is withheld that might have been beneficial to us. And apparently it’s always darkest before the dawn. Darkness, whether physical or metaphorical, is seen as sinister and something to be dispelled Martin Luther King Jnr once said ‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.’ Here he speaking of a darkness of the soul and spirit. Darkness embodied in his time injustice and prejudice. It is this kind of darkness that Christians believe that Jesus came to rid the world of. In scripture Jesus is often referred to as the Light of the World. His ministry was all about love and lifting up The pattern for worship at both churches is varied, ranging those who had the least in society and from traditional to contemporary. speaking out on their behalf. When we Our monthly pattern of worship is outlined below. choose to follow Christ we begin to see the world from a different perspective.

4.00pm: Auckley - Traditional Holy Communion This can mean standing up against 2nd Sunday injustices, walking alongside someone 8.00am: Finningley - Traditional Holy Communion who is maybe struggling to find their 9.15am: Finningley - Holy Communion with Sunday Club place in the world, or simply telling 11.00am: Auckley - Holy Communion with Sunday Club someone they are loved by God and appreciated by those around them. As 3rd Sunday anyone who has ever traveled along a 9.15am: Finningley - Holy Communion with Sunday Club dark road at night and followed the cat’s 11.00am: Auckley - Holy Communion with Sunday Club eyes will know, just a little bit of light 4th Sunday goes a very long way.

Foundation 2

about sensible materials used to build a house.

We are pleased to report all of our reception children have settled well into new routines. Here we are ready to listen, participate and learn. So far we’ve had a busy half term talking about ‘Ourselves’ and ‘Our families’. This week we have been focusing on ‘Homes’. The 3 little pigs came to visit and talked

The children then have been building houses with shapes, exploring different materials, making their own house using boxes and other materials and writing their own ‘Three Little Pigs’ book.

Outside we have been looking for shapes, retelling the Three Little Pigs’ story using masks, bricks and building tools as well as drawing shapes with chalk, paint and water.

We’ve had a fantastic fun filled week even though the weather has been very wet and miserable. Luckily, “The big bad wolf doesn’t like the rain, so he can’t blow our house down”, the children had decided.

The Year 2 children have been on an adventure to explore ‘The Deep’. Our topic has focused on pirates and we have learnt about life at sea, how to be a pirate and even written our own brilliant pirate stories. To take us through to half term we are now focusing on life under the sea and the creatures we will find deep down below the surface. The children all had a fantastic day exploring ‘The Deep’ and finding some of the animals we had heard about before we visited. We attended a workshop looking closely at the animals found under the sea and producing some great drawings. This has inspired us to create our own under water scenes using collage materials and sparked many more ideas for artwork.

Auckley School opened their doors and welcomed in lots of very keen parents, grandparents and visitors into school for a McMillan Coffee Morning. The year 6 children took the lead and served hot drinks and cakes. The children came out of class to join their relatives in the hall for a spot of refreshment before viewing the school. We would like to thank all those who attended this event- we were overwhelmed with how many supported this event and a special thanks to all those who donated buns.

We raised a fantastic ÂŁ530.

We took a fantastic team of eleven boys to Rossington All Saints Academy to compete in a primary 7-a-side football competition. The boys played four matches in some terrible conditions, very cold and wet, against other school from all over Doncaster. We lost our first match but came back fighting and started our second game 1-0 up but unfortunately it ended in a 1-1 draw. We also drew our last two matches with all the boys working well as a team and supporting each other. The boys attended all their training sessions and worked really hard but unfortunately only came 4th this time. Well tried boys.

Everyone at Auckley School said a fond farewell to Ralph Hodgkinson our loyal caretaker of ten years. Everyone gathered in the school hall for a special assembly to wish Mr Ralph, as he is affectionately known, a very happy retirement. Each class had created a personalised card and these were presented these to him in the school hall. He spoke about how much he enjoyed his time working at Auckley School and that he will miss everyone, but is looking forward to having plenty of time to play bowls and golf.

The younger children of Keystage 1 including the new Reception Class helped Rev Neil Redeyoff with the celebration of Harvest Festival at St Oswald’s Church, offering donations of food to help with Doncaster’s Food Bank

A group of lucky students were taken on a trip over to Hill House School in the neighbouring village of Auckley to hear from acclaimed children’s novelist Caroline Lawrence who writes the award winning “Roman Mysteries” series for children 8-12 years old.

St Oswald’s where also joined by several other schools from the area and they spent the afternoon being taken on a journey through her imagination and creativity, which she uses for these fantastic stories. She took time to tell the children how she creates her characters and develops her stories and themes. Caroline then took the time to sign each child's book, that had been generously given to each student by the Hill House school.

It was in 2000 that Caroline Lawrence wrote 'The Thieves of Ostia', the first in a series of children's adventure stories set in Ancient Rome. The Roman Mysteries combine Caroline's love of art history, ancient languages and travel. Her other passions include cinema, the internet, travel and London.
