We cannot be certain of this man’s credentials and there has been some complaint of inappropriate contact and unorthodox healing methods. He has also suggested purchasing vitamin and other supplements via a website called Woodshealth which has received very bad online reviews recommending that the site is not used to purchase these items. The man is described as in his fifties, with an English accent and he has a beard. If these people do any events and start to give medical advice or offer healing then the advice is that they should be asked to leave the meeting.

It is with great sadness that we have to report that the Mayor of Armbouts Cappel, Jean-Luc, lost his wife suddenly this month, and we offer our sincere condolences.

We were invited to the Primary School BBQ on 17 June when the school hosted a day of fun for the 07938 104 594 French school children from Armbouts Cappel along with some of their parents and some teachers. The Twinning made a donation to help the proceedings. Prior to the firing up of the BBQ, the children amused themselves with playground games where they integrated well. The French adults attempted to speak English to us and likewise P.HUMES we tried to reciprocate with our broken school-day French. A good time was had by General Builder all, young and old alike. All types of work undertaken A meeting was held on 15 July with Kirsty Alentis, Vice Head of the school, to Free estimates further relationships with regard to supporting each other in the future. The Bowls Open Day on 22 June was very successful. We entered 2 teams: Lads Carpenty, Brickwork, Plastering, Tiling & Block Paving and Lasses. Both teams were narrowly beaten in their first games, but on entering the Decorating ~ Fitted kitchens plate competition, both got through to the semi-finals. A good effort for virtual ‘non Bathrooms Fitted ~ Maintenance Work players’. Tel: 01843 822 990 On 29 June, Armbouts Cappel hosted their annual ‘Ducasse’. This began with a Mob: 07715 234 185 parade around the village including a band, majorettes, the Minster Carnival Court and the giants. The parade was followed by a buffet lunch, throughout which we were entertained by various musical and singing acts. The atmosphere was electric The Pet Room and their village hall was soon buzzing with various dancing skills (or not!) from both sides of the channel. Professional Dog & Cat We were also invited to attend the Giants’ Day (Geants des Flandres) on 13 July grooming in a homely in the neighbouring village of Rubrouck. White vans arrived at the starting point environment. where numerous body parts were unloaded! After about an hour, these were miraculously transformed into 27 giants, ranging from 10ft – 20ft (3 to 3.6 mtrs) in height. Some were on metal frames, others on wicker, some had to be walked around Please contact laboriously and others flowed easily on castors! All the giants were accompanied by Jo on 826 158 or dancers or musicians whilst they paraded around. This ended outside the village hall 07877 077 263 for more information and the consensus was that a good day was had by all.

Year 5 French Residential Trip June 2014 At the beginning of term, some Year 5 children visited different places in Northern France for 3 days. This was a fantastic opportunity to experience French culture and converse in the French language. We had a brilliant time and have brought back many Year 6 Hindleap Trip life long memories! For the pupils that went to Hindleap, it has been Here we are outside our chalets in Ambleteuse one of the main highlights of Year 6. It has been enjoying the glorious weather! At our Centre we took both education, fun and full of opportunities. part in various sport activities like swimming, cricket I would highly recommend it. and football each afternoon. On Thursday evening By Lucy (after another outfit change of course) we danced our socks off at the disco - teachers included!

While some of the Year 5 were in France, the rest of us had a wonderful time enjoying the fine hot weather here at Minster and out and about in Margate. Our focus for the week was exploring artists and their work. We looked in detail at the work of Andy Goldsworthy, an artist who uses nature as his inspiration. We collected lots of found objects around the school grounds and put them together to make our own sculptures. We filmed our work on the iPads, so that we could speed up the film of our work, like a mini ‘Art Attack’ programme on TV!

Year 6 Activity Week For the Year 6 children who decided not go to Hindleap, we had a great Activity Week. One day it is calm and relaxing, the next it is lively and adventurous, full of exciting plans and fantastic experiences! I would definitely recommend this.
