St Andrew’s Christmas Market Epworth News The Parochial Church Council wish to thank members of the community for generously supporting the market which was held last Friday.

Once again it was a resounding success raising a little over £4,400 for church funds. There was a steady stream of purchasers entering the Imperial Hall even before the event commenced at twelve noon. At around the time of the switching of the lights the Hall was almost bursting at the seams.

The major financial boost is a significant help in defraying the running costs of the Church. Plans are already in hand for next year!

A big thank you to everyone who supported the Tombola stall held at Walkers Nurseries Christmas Market on the 19th November, in aid of the Alzheimer's Society. We had a very busy day, raising £503.00 plus a further £60 was given in donations on the day.

I would also like to thank Walkers Nurseries for placing collecting boxes in their nursery and coffee shop.

In the last 9 months they have raised £93.00, I am very grateful to all who contributed.

Thank you Gill Snow

THE W.W.2 DIARY OF CLIFFORD SPENCER 1764164 Gunner. SPENCER Clifford 27 L.A.A. (Light Ack Ack) Regt, R.A. (Royal Artillery) (107 Bty. (Battery)) Adapted & edited for publication by Anthony E. Catherall

Sept 9th.

Boxing not so good. Send a letter dear. Debate, should blood sports be abolished? Answer No. Have a good wash.

Everybody happy again, parcels up. Have a throat swap. Some of the chaps have to go into the isolation. Nice service and some good singing.

Itie cig issue 40 A01, pay 10 Lira. Would love a little bigger, but not Sept 10th. enough to go round, so will have to go back to the same size.

Getting dark earlier now, also cooler. Oh this weekend, I am thinking more Sept 11th. of home, and wishing I was. I could do with a good feed. Sing-song in our hut tonight, it livens things up a bit. One year ago today we were at Cape Town, how different to this pitshole, plenty to eat, and room to roam about free.

Still Sunday, go to 8.45 am - 2 pm. Wonder what you are doing darling; I can picture you in many ways, getting Julie ready for Sunday School, how I bet she’s altering, and getting clever.

Wish I’d some soap to exchange for bread off the guards, they like English Monday 12th. soap, you ought to see theirs. Got a choir now sing anthems jolly good 2700 men move out, but I’m not one of them. Feel miserable to night, no Sept. 14th. parcels in, and everything seems so quiet now this lot has gone.

A name roll call. Parcels come; faces brighten up once again. Apples in Sept. 15th. canteen, but poor things. Good dinner tonight. Hear good news, big raids over Germany.

Commander (Commando?) raid on Tobruk. Hear that Bill Bows is POW in Italy. He was in the Regiment that we were under. Go to bed thanking God for a better and more cheerful day.

Start off well again. Free issue of grapes, the first we have had in Italy. Go Sept. 16th. to MO (Medical Officer) with sores on my hands. Len gets stung. Issue of 25 cigs, have been trying to save a packet so I could get a loaf with it manage to get one, so extra feed tonight. Also, apple pudding out of parcel.

Parcel my turn for soap. Wash my one and only shirt, it will soon be done.

Sept. 17th.

Have a book out of library, called The Ladder of Swords, by Gilbert Parker.

Sept. 18th.

Debate, is temperament more essential than love. Answer, love.

Have a pint of porridge. It’s still lovely weather. Boil on thigh.

Sept. 19th.

Sunday.

We have a padre for the first time. Holy Communion. See MO about boil and sores.

Canadian parcels arrive for first time. Butter in them Sept. 21st. and dried milk-raison-prunes, chocolate-cheese-corned beef-meat-rollbiscuits-tea-sugar-salmon-sardines-jam and marmalade.

Make a kit-bag. Had a prune pudding last night made Sept. 22nd. with bread, prunes, milk, and butter, O.K. Rain in the night. Concert. .

November was a very busy for Wroot Travis Primary School. Not only were we very busy in school with our usual lessons, we were rehearsing for our Christmas Concert and went on some educational visits.

Our Christmas Concert is called Straw and Order. Every child in school has a part so it promises to be quite a production!

There have been 4 educational visits: Indoor Athletics, Gangsta Granny, STEM and Mini Olympics.

Gangsta Granny was a play based on the book by popular children’s author David Walliams. We all travelled to the Baths Hall in Scunthorpe and had a fantastic time.

Year 5 & 6 were invited to attend a Stem event in Hull. (STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and maths.) Firstly, we learned about electrical circuits where we made an LED light. Then we transformed into detectives, and identified criminals from finger prints. Additionally, we connected pipes to water sources. We also smelt fragrances and guessed what the smell was.

We competed against a handful of the South Isle of Axholme schools at Indoor Athletics and Mini Olympics. We all tried very hard and put on a good performance to represent our school.

As if this wasn’t enough, we also held a Remembrance Service at the cenotaph in the village to remember all of the brave people who have lost their lives in wars and conflicts.

We started December off with a Key Stage One visit to Normanby Hall in Scunthorpe to see Santa Claus and the children put their Christmas requests forward to him. Afterwards they enjoyed some hot chocolate and biscuits.

December promises to be just as busy with concert rehearsals, Christmas dinner, Christmas parties, panto visit, Christmas Fayre, Christingle and hopefully a visit from ‘the man in red’.

May I take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy New Year from everyone at Wroot School.

Written by Ruby Smith and Lauren Wolstenholme Year 6

This pretty girl is Poppy, a 7 year old Jack Russell who is looking for a new home. Poppy is so sweet and well-behaved in the house and on the lead, and travels really well. She has lived with children, but would be best with older ones now. Ok with other dogs. Poppy would love a family who will take her on some nice walks so she can lose her extra weight! Poppy is neutered and fully vaccinated. If you are interested in meeting this lovely girl, please call Isle Rescue on 01427 728705.

Trentside Federation School News – St Martin’s and West Butterwick Church of England Primary Schools As I write this, we are moving rapidly towards the end of term and the final weeks of 2015. At St Martin’s we have been busily learning lines and songs for the Infant Christmas performances of The Landlord’s Cat (Key Stage 1) and ‘Whoops-a-Daisy Angel’ (Foundation Stage). Key Stage 2 at St Martin’s is going to see a dramatic production of ‘Peter Pan’ at Lincoln Performing Arts Centre. Over the last few weeks, there have been many exciting first-hand educational experiences to share, such as a visit to Epworth Old Rectory (KS1 West Butterwick) and the recent Vulcan experience too. Perlethorpe Environment Education Centre in Nottinghamshire was the venue for a very special educational visit for the youngest pupils across West Butterwick, St Martin’s and Haxey schools on 30th November – the children had the opportunity to re-enact the journey to Bethlehem and the Christmas story at the farm. It was a magical visit to start the season of Advent and the pupils also used natural materials to create traditional Christmas decorations. In addition to all of this, recent visitors to our schools have included a dental nurse, a pilot and St John’s Ambulance (training pupils and staff in CPR).

Community Spirit is very much in the December air in Owston Ferry as a number of our Key Stage 2 pupils venture out to Lindum Court Residential Home to entertain residents with festive songs and traditional carols. St Martin’s school was also involved, once again this year, in running a competition to select someone to switch on the village’s Christmas Lights – winners were Travis May and Daniel Davey who have the honour of doing this for 2015! A Christmas Fair and Lantern Parade took place on 4th December and a Christmas Fair is to take place at West Butterwick School on 16th December. Thank you to all who support our Christmas Fairs, concerts and special events.

There are Christmas Discos planned at both schools, as well as participation in the Owston Ferry Methodist Chapel Christmas Tree Festival. St Martin’s Advent Service at the Chapel on 11th December will certainly be an atmospheric occasion with all of the beautifully decorated trees. Our term will end with Christmas Services in St Mary’s and St Martin’s. At this very special time of year, the Trentside Federation team wishes you a peaceful New Year!

For more information about what has been happening across the Trentside Federation then please visit www.trentsidefederation.co.uk.

SCHOOL GET IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT WITH FESTIVAL TREE Pupils of Misterton Primary School are entering into the spirit of Christmas with an entry in the Christmas Tree Festival, run by the Parish Council and held in the Parish Church until noon on Saturday 12 December.

The School Council was presented with a cheque for £50 towards the cost of the tree, which they selected from a nearby plantation.

The donation was from the District Council’s members’ community grants fund. Each class was asked to make tree decorations; members of the School Council selected the best to hang on the tree. Pictured presenting the cheque is Cllr Hazel Brand with teacher, Emma White, (rear left and right) and members of the School Council.
