Harvest Festival service at 6.00pm on the 12th September ( see poster on front page) . St. Mary’s hosted two lovely services in August : the confirmation of two young people by Bishop Mike, the Bishop of Dunwich, and our Patronal service with Rev’d Rebecca Artiss, which included a baptism. There was a full church for both of these services and it was lovely to have a good number of young people. We hope they will come again soon. Harvest Time “ From The Primary School “ September always sees us celebrating this special time and this year we shall link with the Harvest Festival in St. Mary’s, creating displays for the service there. In school we will also be holding a special assembly that week.

The Parish Council has received complaints about vehicles being parked in private driveways and blocking access during peak times. This is completely unacceptable and although it may save the driver a few minutes of walking it can seriously inconvenience and delay others. Parking on private land is illegal and offenders can be prosecuted. Remember also to respect the yellow zig-zag lines - they are there for the safety . Annual Autumn Tidy – We will be meeting at the Community Centre at 10.30 am on Saturday 18th September. Litter pickers, high viz jackets and gloves will all be provided along with a light lunch for all participants upon completion. This is a chance to give back to your community and help improve your own local environment, whilst making new friends! Website Update Emails If you would like to subscribe to a mailing list to receive notifications of when up- dates have been posted to the village website, please email [email protected] with “PC Alerts” in the subject line. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose. New Parish Councillor – We are pleased to welcome Stephen Fugler to the Parish Council, bringing your Council back up to full complement. Continued from page 5 Worlingworth Primary school Fairies and Elves Unfortunately, until guidelines change, we are having to postpone our monthly baby and toddler group meeting. As soon as the situation changes, we will be inviting parents and grandparents and their children back in for an afternoon of tea, talk and toys. Please check with the school and our website updates. Willows Nursery Our full-time nursery continues to blossom with numbers increasing! Our youngest and newest children are all quickly settling in and enjoy learning through lots of role-play, creating art masterpieces, listening to lots of stories and getting busy building and cooperating together as well as having fun playing games in their wonderful garden. We always welcome enquiries from new parents so please do not hesitate to contact the office if you would like an appointment. 4 News from Worlingworth Primary school Global Challenge This year, we have a geography theme for the names of our four classes with each class being named after one of the continents. Our youngest children in Nursery and Reception are in Oceania Class, Our KS1 class are called Europe Class, our Years 3 and 4 class is called Africa Class and our Years 5 and 6 class is called Asia Class. To help children learn all the names of our continents we have also named the school and headteachers’ offices as North and South America and the Staff Room is Antartica! Our added covid - safety ventilation does make it a bit chilly in the winter so this is quite appropriate! Each class has been equipped with large wall maps, new globes and more atlases to help children explore and learn about the continents, countries, oceans and cities of our wonderful world through their lessons and independently. Children in our upper KS2 Class are already keen to learn as many facts as they can. How many countries and their capital cities cane you name? We hope to hold regular quizzes throughout the year to allow the children a chance to share and demonstrate their new expertise. New Year – New Teachers We are very excited to welcome two new members of staff to the school: Mrs Bothwell O’Hearn who will teach in Africa Class and Mrs Kenny who will be teaching in Asia Class. We look forward to helping them both settle in and become vital parts of our school community. Whole School Topic For the Autumn term our curriculum will be taught through our exciting new whole school topic ‘Here Come The Invaders!’. The Romans, Vikings and Kings & Queens will be coming to Worlingworth, bringing with them a wealth of historical and geographical questions for the children to investigate. For example: How did the Anglo Saxon’s react to the arrival of the Vikings? Why did Boudicca want to fight the Roman invasion? How did different castles protect Kings and Queens from angry invaders? Each class will participate in cross-curricular learning about their topic and class trips to Colchester Castle and West Stowe are already organised to enrich the children’s understanding. Rainbow Values Our Rainbow Values continue to be very much part of daily life and learning at the school. We want all our children to have a positive and smooth transition back into school after the complexities and challenges experienced last year and so collective worship and lessons are carefully planned around our values with a focus on teaching the children the importance of listening, friendship and showing compassion and toler- ance in our community and further afield.

As I am sure you already know, Lent is the 40-day period of abstinence and reflection, marking the 40 days of fasting and temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. This is an aspect of Jesus that is wonderfully human, that he had to face many temptations and keep himself pure before taking up the task of saving us from ourselves. Whether you believe that temptation comes from the devil, or from within ourselves, it is a fact of life that we face every day and it is an unavoidable part of our human vulnerability.

  • SUFFOLK COUNTY•RECORDS. the Principal Justice of the Peace In
    SUFFOLK COUNTY•RECORDS. The principal justice of the peace in each county is the custos rotulorum or keeper of the records ; the other justices were, formerly, custodes or conservatores pacis, who claimed their power by prescription, or were bound to exercise it by the tenure of their lands, or were chosen by the freeholders in full County Court before the sheriff. After the deposition of Edward II. the election of the conservators of the peace was taken from the people and given to the Kirig. The statute 34 Edw. III. c.1 gave the ,conservators of the peace power of trying felonies, when they acquired the appellation of justices. After 1590 they were ap- pointed to keep the peace in the particular county named, and to enquire of, and to determine .offences in such county committed. It was ordained by Statute 18 Edw. III., st. ,2, c: 2, that two or three of the best reputation in each' county shall be' assigned to be keepers of the peace. By Statute 34 Edw. III. their number was increased to four, and in the reign.of Richard II. their number in each county was eight, which number was further enlarged the growth of the number of statute laws committed from time to time to the charge of the justices of the peace. Any two or more justices of the peace are em- powered by' commissionto hear and determine offences SUFFOLK COUNTY RECORDS. 145 which is the ground of their criminal jurisdiction at Quarter Sessions. " Besides the jurisdiction which the justices of each county at large exercise, in these and other matters at Quarter Sessions, authority is moreover given by various statutes to the justices acting for the several divisions into which' counties are for that purpose distributed, to transact different descriptions of business at special sessions." The Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace is a Court that must be held in each county once in every quarter of a year.

  • REPONSE to LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District
    REPONSE TO LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District Council is pleased to have this opportunity to respond to the draft recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) during this second consultation period. In general, we are content with those draft recommendations however, there are two ward areas in which we would like to propose alternative warding patterns for consideration by the LGBCE. The changes we are proposing in one of those areas do also have minor ‘ripple‐on’ effects into two neighbouring wards. The fact that the counter‐proposals we are now submitting only have a significant effect on three wards out of the twenty six wards proposed in the draft consultation indicates our high level of support for the LGBCE draft proposals. We feel that a good level of electoral equality has been achieved by the LGBCE in these draft proposals whilst reflecting real community interests and identities. For these reasons we feel it is important that we give our observations on all areas and not just comment on those few instances where we would like to see alternative solutions. Western parishes (but referred to as ‘Eastern’ in draft report) We have some reservations about the new two‐member ward of Elmswell & Woolpit. However, we have not been able to devise a workable alternative which does not have extensive and unwelcomed repercussions elsewhere. At our Full Council meeting a number of Members raised concern about the Haughley & Wetherden ward. The concern relates to area in the south of the Haughley ward which fall within Stowmarket Town boundaries.

  • Church and Village News Bedfield, Monk Soham, Southolt, Tannington and Worlingworth April 2017 Happy Easter
    Church and Village News Bedfield, Monk Soham, Southolt, Tannington and Worlingworth April 2017 Happy Easter Dear Friends, One of the less attractive traits of human beings is the way we load expectations on to people that are unrealistic and unfair. Then, when the expectations are not met, we criticise the others, not ourselves. Jesus was well aware of what people wanted him to be and do. He knew he could not be the conquering liberator of their imagination because his path was to lead to defeat and death – something very hard for his followers to accept. St Luke tells us that even when Jesus hung on the cross ‘the leaders scoffed at him, saying “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!” The sol- diers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”’ (Luke 23:35-37.) These must have been bitter words for the Son of God to hear, when he knew that he could have summoned legions of angels to release him from the cross, but chose not to. In that choice he in fact exceeded all expectation. Instead of liberating the nation he sacrificed himself so that every man, woman and child in the world could come back to God. That’s how much he loved us. Sometimes if we let our relatives, friends, the local school, the NHS or whoever it may be off the hook and not pile a weight of expectation upon them, they may in fact deliver in a way that we had never thought of.
