Editor’s Letter... The

Autumn season has arrived officially

the success of their last Halloween Party,

Kilham Hall Management committee will be

hosting another on Sunday 28th October.

however there are some areas where the

recycle boxes, blue and clear bags are

Petition for a Safe Crossing

Area on Doncaster Road. The petition for a safe crossing area which was

signed by nearly 300 local people, was submitted to

DMBC Transportation Services Department on

Monday 10th September.

The petition was supported by Ward Councillor

Yvonne Woodcock, Branton St Wilfrid’s Primary

School and Cantley with Branton Parish Council.

On Friday 21st September we received a response

from the Council to say they could not justify our

request for a safe crossing on Doncaster Road in

Branton due to other road safety priorities in the

borough. Other issues were raised such as the

lack of ‘incidents’ on the road and the small

number of pedestrians who use this road. A copy

of the letter from the council will be available at

Branton post office if anyone wishes to read their

response in full.

We will be responding to the letter and will update

you in the November issue of The Arrow. If anyone would like to write a letter of support to

the council, please direct it to Neil Firth,

Transportation Services Department,, DMBC.

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!

AUCKLEY PARISH COUNCIL SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012

Auckley Show, August 2012 The 2012 Auckley Show was fantastic with a record number of visitors. There was something for every-

one including a display of vintage cars, a whole variety of stalls and displays, horse jumping and new ven-

tures such as the ‘Fun Dog Show’. A huge amount of planning and hard work is needed to stage an event

of this nature, and members of the Auckley Show Committee are to be congratulated for providing the

village with a very enjoyable and successful Show.

Public Footpaths in Auckley The Parish Council is currently liaising with Doncaster Council’s Footpaths Officer regarding blocked

paths and definitive widths of public footpaths in Auckley Parish.

Poppy Wreath Council will be funding a poppy wreath which will be laid at the Blaxton War Memorial on Remembrance

Sunday in November.

July Flooding Following the July flooding of several gardens and garages in Auckley, two members of staff from Severn

Trent attended the September Parish Council meeting and spent almost an hour

answering residents’ questions and giving a full and detailed account of measures which have been put in

place to try and alleviate further problems. They have also agreed to visit house-holders who have been

affected by the flooding.

Bin & Recycling

Collection Changes

Due to Industrial

Action

Green bin collections Due to industrial action announced by

UNITE members working for SITA UK,

residents are advised that there will be no

green bin collections in Doncaster from

Friday 21st September until Monday 15th

October.

Green bin collections have been

temporarily suspended so resources can be

redirected to minimise disruptions to black

bin collections during the period of

industrial action. Household Waste Recycling Centres will remain open as usual and can

be used by residents to dispose of their household and garden waste.

Black bin collections

Residents are being asked to put their black bins out on their usual collection day, during

their usual black bin collection weeks only.

Green box collections

Green box collections for the majority of the borough will remain unaffected by the

action. However, households which usually have collections on a Monday or a Friday

will see this recycling service reduced to every other week until Friday 12th of October.

Residents living in Blaxton and Finningley, who usually have their collection on a Friday

should only put out their green box, blue bag and clear bag on Friday 21st September

and Friday 5th October.

Residents living in Auckley, Branton and part of Finningley who usually have their

collection on a Monday should only put out their green box, blue bag and clear bag on

Monday 24th September and Monday 8th October.

All waste and recycling services should return to normal on Monday 15th

October.

Clinical waste services and business waste and business recycling services will be

unaffected by the action.

It’s all change at Hayfield Lane Primary School:

We have started the new school year with a new look school uniform and Logo. We

decided to change the colour of our sweatshirts and sent out a parental questionnaire;

the favourite colour voted for was red. To complete the new look we now have a silver

and red tie along with black Trousers/Skirt that makes our children look very smart.

We are all very excited about our newly formed link with the Vulcan bomber at the

airport. The Staff, Governors and Children were all delighted when they confirmed

that we could use the Vulcan as our logo on our school uniform. The Vulcan team are

also very excited with the local link; more news will follow in a later addition of the

Arrow.

We also have new names for our classes; they are now called Robin, Starling,

Kingfisher, Owl, Hawk, Kestrel and Eagle.

News from Hayfield Lane Primary SchoolNews from Hayfield Lane Primary School


In the Kestrels class, their Learning Challenge this term involves comparing

Auckley with Castleton in the Peak District. They will be learning about the history and

geography of each location and deciding where they would rather live. They visited

Castleton in the middle of September and had a great time exploring the countryside!

They looked around the village, marking the range of businesses on their maps and

comparing them to what we have in Auckley. They visited Treak Cliff Cavern where

they learnt all about Blue John Stone and enjoyed visiting the Witch’s Cave. Finally

they completed the Three Rocks Walk, learning about the hills of Castleton and

searching for fossils in the dry stone walls. They really enjoyed their day in Castleton

and are looking forward to the rest of their Learning Challenge!

Hayfield Lane’s Gardening Club has had a busy summer. They entered the

Yorkshire Show Vegetable Box Competition where they had to grow a range of

vegetables in a special box. Part of the competition involved keeping a diary to show

the progress of their box and they were delighted to win an award for their diary!

During the summer holidays, they entered a tray of vegetables and a vase of sweet

peas into the Auckley Show. These had all

been grown by the children. They couldn’t

believe it when their sweet peas were

awarded 3rd place and their tray of

vegetables were 1st!

They are currently looking forward to the

Doncaster In Bloom Awards. The judges

came to interview the children last term

and they have been shortlisted in the

Schools category.

News From Branton St Wilfrid’s Primary School

School Leavers’ and New Starters

Year 6 Leavers

At the end of term we said goodbye to our Year 6 children and

wished them well as they prepared for the next step of their

educational journey. We joined with other Diocesan schools at

Doncaster Minster for the Leavers’ Service, where our Year 6

sang “Here I Am to Worship” beautifully at the beginning of

the service. On the last day of term the whole school went to

St Wilfrid’s Church where we celebrated the time Year 6 spent

with us as they shared their memories. We always look forward

to hearing from our leavers and we had our first visitors at the

beginning of term, sharing their experiences of The Hayfield School so far (notably

homework!) and looking very

smart in their new uniforms.

We wish them all well.

New Starters!

Our new children are settling

well into their school life at

Branton. We have staggered

starts so that the children

become used to their adults

and routines in small numbers

and for shorter periods to

begin with, increasing to full

time in October. We have a

strong family ethos at our

school, so each day the new

children join the rest of the

children at playtimes, where

we know our caring children

will play with them and help

them settle in quickly. We

have a beautiful display in the

hall with the title “We are

Here!” Each Class R child has

painted a picture of

themselves which is displayed

alongside a photograph. We

look forward to sharing their

class news with you soon.


The Olympics

We celebrated the

London Olympics in

the Summer Term

with our special

Olympic Week, which

included a visit from

one of our parents,

Mrs Britten, who won

a bronze medal for

Taekwondo at the

Barcelona Olympic

Games, and the ap-

pearance of an Olym-

pic torch at Sports

Day. Many of our

children travelled to

London to watch

Olympic events or

just to soak up the

atmosphere. For

summer homework

our P.E. subject leader asked the children to produce homework about the Olympics.

Friendship Week

At the beginning of each new school year we hold “Friendship Week” in school. Each class

worked on different activities with a friendship theme, for example writing poems or de-

scriptions of friends, painting their portraits or thinking about the qualities which make a

good friend. One of our governors made friendship bracelets at lunchtime and we shared our

work and ideas with parents at the end of the week. Our School Council produced a leaflet

called “Be a Friend –Not a Bully!” which is updated annually and sent home with each child.

School Garden Our school garden was designed by members of the School Council and has now been estab-

lished for a year. Each class takes responsibility for a bed, link-

ing their growing to topics in the curriculum, for example Class 6

have a vegetable plot linked to their World War Two topic, when

people were encouraged to grow their own food. Our current

Class 2 were delighted to see the progress of their sunflowers

and beans planted before the break.

We hope you enjoyed reading our news and look forward to shar-

ing more of our activities next month.

Best Wishes,

C. Barnes,

Acting Head Teacher

Auckley School News

The new school term has started very well here at Auckley School and promises to be

very eventful with lots of exciting things

planned.

Visit from Assistant Director of Education

At Auckley School we are always excited to

welcome visitors and show them around our

school.

Early this term Jo Moxon, assistant director of

education for Doncaster was invited to come

and look around. She looked around the school

and visited all of the children during her stay.

The children in year 1 were keen to book her a

holiday to a foreign shore from their travel

agency (role play area)

Auckley Show Winner

One of the most popular clubs at Auckley School is the gardening club. Every week lots of

children in all age ranges are keen to get their hands dirty and nurture the lovely plants

and flowers. We are very lucky to have members from our community who come along

and help us. Members from the local allotment have been showing us their green fingers

and teaching us lots about growing vegetables.


Auckley’s Budding Poets

Recently children at the school have been

entered into a poetry competition and the

successful entrants have been chosen to be

published in a poetry book. Well done to

all those who entered and have been se-

lected. There were some amazing poems

about many different topics and themes.

We certainly have some very talented po-

ets here at Auckley School

NSPCC Visit

Over the next few weeks we will be raising

money for the NSPCC full stop campaign.

This week Lynda came in to talk to us

about the work the charity do and gave

lots of useful advice to the children about

“child line” All the children are keen to

raise funds for the charity and are now

thinking of a variety of fun ways to do this.

The theme is based around healthy work

outs so each class will organise their own

unique work out session. Anything and

everything from athletics to Zumba has

been mentioned. “Come on teachers –

shake the dust off those leotards” !!!

Ocean Liners, Shire Horses, Forest Fires

Can you work out what the three things in the title above have in common?

I enjoy watching documentaries on the TV, particularly about how things are made. The last one I watched

was about the construction of a luxury cruise ship. It was huge! Bigger even than my shoes, which have at

times been compared to canal barges! My favourite bit was the view of the bridge. The camera panned

around and showed us the radar screens, the hundreds of buttons, the panoramic windows, the engine

speed controllers, and the captain’s chair.

But what about the ships wheel? Where was that? Well. Think Long John Silver, Pirates of the Caribbean,

or even Captain Pugwash (I was a child of the 70’s) and you would be absolutely...wrong. No massive ships

wheel with which the captain had to do battle in a storm. Not even a smaller modern wheel that could be

turned easily. Instead, a very small joystick that you might see any child (or me) using with their Xbox.

(other game consoles are available)

Amazing! How can something so huge, so heavy, so powerful, so colossal, so epic, be controlled by

something so small!!

In a similar way a huge shire horse is controlled by a very small piece of metal in its mouth. This massive

beast, taller even than me, can be guided by something very small in comparison.

Then we have a huge forest fire. These can be started by just one tiny spark, a carelessly discarded

cigarette, or tiny piece of glass in the sun, and literally hundreds of square miles of trees, farmland, and

property can be destroyed.

The connection? In each case something very tiny can have a massive effect.

I wonder how many disagreements have turned nasty because of an ill thought out word. I wonder how

many relationships have broken down because someone said the wrong thing? I wonder how many

arguments have turned to violence because a mouth was put in gear and a brain left in neutral? I wonder

how many wars have been caused by an evil and threatening tongue?

It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your

mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the

world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a

reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and

go up in smoke with it...You can tame a tiger, but

you can’t tame a tongue—it’s never been done. The

tongue runs wild, a wanton killer. (James 3. The

Message Bible)

Food for thought perhaps in today’s world.
