Welcome to the January issue of the Crowle and Ealand Arrow and what a year!

2020, here is a short round up!

Australian bushfires, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit the royal family, COVID-19 pandemic, stock market crash, black lives matter protests, Joe Biden becomes president and the good news of a 90 year old British grandmother receiving the first jab against COVID-19. I think we can all safely say we will put 2020 behind us and hopefully a more prosperous new year ahead!

Looking ahead to January, Lindsey lodge have launched ‘Jog on January’ details are on page 14.

Visit Jog On January Facebook group, full of daily fitness challenges, work out videos, health tips and encouragement from other participants. All you need to do is be active for 31 days, whether you choose to jog, dance, run walk or peddle the choice is yours. The Scunthorpe-based hospice called off its fundraising activities at the start of the pandemic and warned it could have a "devastating impact" on the charity, which relies on donations. Lindsey Lodge Hospice has appealed for help as it expects to lose more than half a million pounds in funding during the coronavirus crisis.

The Arrow team wish everyone a Happy and Safe New Year.

The deadline for the February issue is Thursday 14th January for delivery by Sunday 31st January

Protect yourself on social media Many of us use social media every day without giving a second thought to our privacy or our vulnerability to cyber-crime. The following tips aim to keep you safe online.

Avoid publishing any identifying information about yourself that could be used by scammers - e.g. phone numbers, your address or birthday.

Make it difficult for potential hackers by using strong passwords with symbols and numbers.

Review and edit your privacy features on social media sites to ensure that only your friends can access your profile.

Consider the permanence of online content - don't post anything that may later embarrass you or someone else. (You never know who might be looking at your page e.g. a prospective employer.)

Never post comments that are abusive or may cause offence.

Be on your guard against phishing scams, including fake friend requests and posts from individuals or companies inviting you to visit other pages or sites. If you do get caught up in a scam, make sure you remove any corresponding likes and app permissions from your account.

Ensure you have effective and updated antivirus/antispyware software and firewall.

Unpleasant comments about people on social media sites aren't dealt with by the police, unless there is a criminal offence involved.

Offences may include threats to kill, threats to cause damage, criminal conduct amounting to harassment and comments that incite racial hatred, violence or rioting.

If you have been affected by any of these offences, please call Humberside Police on 101 to report it.

Regarding unpleasant or inappropriate posts, you should first contact the social media site on which the comments have been made and ask for assistance. If you think you have been libelled to an extent that you wish to take action, please consult with a solicitor in the first instance.

Are you a singer?

Would you love to try Busking?

I am 14 years old and practicing hard so I can start busking in York and places in Yorkshire. I play electric guitar and love to perform. I love performing but just cant sing very well!! I like playing ROCK and music from the Artic Monkeys and similar sounds.

I have the required amp for busking, you would just need a mic. If you would like to join me and have some fun message my mum on aranys@outlook.com and we can arrange a zoom call!

St Norbert's Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy 'To live, love and learn in the footprints of Jesus' Welcome to our January Newsletter!

By the time you read this, 2020 will thankfully be over! However, I am sure that Christmas 2020 will remain in our memories for a long time! We will remember the precious times we were able to spend with our families over the Christmas period and the community spirit within our school and our local community; the beautiful lights in the Market Place, the knitted Christmas trees in the local shops and the foodbanks generously provided for some of our residents.

Have a look at some scenes from our recorded Christmas Performances, below. All of our children took part, from Nursery to Year 6, and enjoyed the experience. The performances were uploaded to our learning platform for the children’s parents to enjoy during the Christmas break.

Children in the Nursery and Reception Class performed ‘The ABC Nativity’; children from Class 3 took part in ‘The Midwife Crisis’; Class 4, ‘The Ordinary Ox’ and Class 5, a performance entitled ‘Christmas 1914’.

At the end of November, all children were given online e-safety training, appropriate to their age groups. Parents and Governors also took part in an evening session. They learnt about the dangers of not knowing what children can access over the internet and the importance of keeping up to date with changes to online media. You may think that your child is accessing an age-related site but this does not always keep them safe from others.

During December we also welcomed our new Nursery children who will be joining us in January. Children took part in ‘socially distanced’ taster sessions to enable a happy transition.

Applications for first admission to schools close on 15th January 2021 for places for September 2021 and beyond. Applications should be made online through the North Lincolnshire Council website. Please contact us if you are new to the area and are interested in joining our school.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and safe 2021!

Please note that you do not need to be a Catholic to attend our school.

Families of all faiths or no faith are welcome! Some places are available for Reception in September and Nursery throughout the year.

We lo ok forward to seeing you in school again very soon!

Lindsey Lodge Hospice has launched its ‘Jog on January’ fitness challenge in a bid to motivate people to be active for 31 days and raise vital funds to help it continue to support local patients and their families who are living with a life limiting illness.

Participants are encouraged to keep active for 31 days in January however they choose – whether it’s walking, running, dancing or swimming. By completing the challenge and raising £31 for Lindsey Lodge, participants will earn a bespoke Jog on January medal.

The 28-year-old Hospice has seen a 98% rise in the number of admissions to its vital Inpatient palliative care services in the last five years.

He added: “While the majority of our fundraising activities have been put on hold due to Covid-19, Jog on January gives people the opportunity to support Lindsey Lodge from the comfort of their own homes.

“Even by simply registering to take part, you’ll be making a difference to our patients. But if each participant could then raise just £1 sponsorship a day for 31 days, we could raise a staggering amount for the Hospice!”

For a £15 registration fee, participants will receive their official ‘Jog on January’ T shirt, which features a calendar design for them to tick off each day as they complete their exercise. They will also be given access to the official Jog on January Facebook group to share their progress with other participants.

Peter said: “There’s no minimum or maximum age limit, so the whole family can get involved. Jog, run, walk, swim, dance or jump - it’s entirely your choice, all you need to do is keep moving every day! For the little ones, Jog on Juniors is just £7.50 (t-shirt not included).

“The more active you are and the more sponsorship you raise will see you reaping rewards, as well as making a real difference in your local community.”
