‘I’ve been told to strengthen my core –how many sit-ups a day should I do?’

It’s a question we are asked a lot. The answer – none! Most people think ofthe core as a nice six-pack, or strong, toned abs, but the truth is that theabdominal muscles are a very small part of the core. The abdominals havevery limited and specific action, and what professionals refer to as the "core"actually consists of many different muscles that stabilize the spine and pelvis,and run the entire length of the torso. When these muscles contract, theystabilize the spine, pelvis and shoulder girdle and create a solid base ofsupport.

If you think about it, it makes sense. What good are endless sit-ups andcrunches to everyday life – it won’t be very often you use that specificmovement. However if you have children, grandchildren, work in the gardenor have a physical job, you will constantly be twisting, stretching, reaching,leaning sideways, forwards and backwards – sit-ups may not seem so usefulnow! A properly strong core however – that will stand you in good stead!

If you would like to learn how to develop a strong core and midsection toprevent injuries and back pain, you know where to ask!

FROM THE EDITOR...

The wonderful June weather enticed us out and we visited some ofthe local events, right on our doorstep. We include a handful of photosto give you a tiny glimpse of how good they were. The Vintage and Classic Car Show at Churchill & Sarsden assembledover 500 gleaming and magnificent machines – ‘eye candy for theautomobiliac’, and all the best marques were there! This event is everysecond year – they have established a winning formula and if you arehoping to be an exhibitor, put it in your diary now for June 2016 (thisyear they were fully booked before Easter). Sezincote & Longborough Traditional Fete is also bi-annual, in themagical and unique setting of Sezincote House. The weather broughtthe crowds out and everywhere there were smiling faces; theChampagne and Pimms stall sold out more than once, and the Feteset a new fundraising record of over £8,000.

As an n.b, nearly all the events in the centre pages of the magazineare organised and run by local volunteers, raising funds for a villagehall, a church roof, or a local charity. They work incredibly hard to giveus a wonderful day out, a special cream tea or a memorable glimpseof the social scene. A huge cheer for all the volunteers andcommittees! Without them the Cotswolds might still be beautiful, butit wouldn’t have the same wonderful community that is its treasure!

As always, you have a tremendous choice of how to enjoy our area ofthe Cotswolds – the key is to take the opportunity and do just that –enjoy it!

Last year at this time I wrote about the numerous planning applications being putforward, particularly in relation to new supermarkets and retirement homes. It’s notmy job to comment on these either way but it is my job to help support businesseswhich provide employment opportunities for local people, whether these are largeorganisations or small local businesses. I mentioned that I thought it would behelpful if district, town & parish councils, with the help of local people, identified thetype of businesses we would like to attract to the area and to make a concertedeffort to try to get these businesses to come to the North Cotswolds. We have lotsto offer. Help should also be given to smaller businesses, many of them one manbands, which have outgrown their dining room tables and are now looking to rentcommercial premises at a reasonable cost. The cost of renting commercial propertyin this area is too high and stops many making the move and many a smallbusiness becoming bigger. We could also help by making that extra effort to buyfrom local suppliers and to shop locally where possible. This in turn will put moremoney back into the local economy and create more employment opportunities.Yes, shopping on the internet is cheaper but is it creating local jobs? Yes, petrol ischeaper at the supermarkets but how far will you have to drive to fill-up in anemergency if all our local filling stations closed? There is no doubt that the businessmodel is changing rapidly & that certain business need to shake themselves into themodern world but it is up to all of us to ensure that our local economy is vibrant sothat there are jobs for local people & that businesses have an incentive to locate tothis area.

Should you require help with your accounts, Vat or payroll you should either contactyour accountant or give me a ring for free telephone advice.

This month will see our students takingpart in Race for Life activities, and track and field events over the school’sSports Days on 7th and 8th July.

Meanwhile, we will be waving‘good bye’ to our school’s Expedition Team who, with Mr Edwards andMiss Tingle, are heading off the beaten track on their self-funded month-long adventure in Nicaragua. Good luck team!

A group of Year 9 students, picked for their commitment and interestin science, visited the JET lab at Culham. They enjoyed a tour of theUK's centre for nuclear fusion research, saw a mock-up of thereactor and learnt about the possibility of nuclear fusion providing along term clean energy source in the future as well as the possibilitiesfor working in scientific industries.

Forty five Year 8 students went to Chipping Norton Theatre to takepart in two professionally-led workshops exploring working withmasks and text. The theatre staff were very complimentary about thebehaviour and ability of our students and the students seemed toreally enjoy the day!

Year 9 students taking Art GCSE visited the Pitt Rivers Museum.Students were able to look at a variety of artefacts from a huge rangeof cultures, including shrunken heads! The opportunity to draw fromprimary resources gives students the vision to develop their ideas. Allstudents had an informative and exciting day!

GCSE history students spent a fascinating study day at The EdwardJenner Museum. The students have been studying the history ofmedicine looking at the role played by key individuals, such as DrJenner; who pioneered vaccination against smallpox in the late 18thcentury. The students used independent research skills to gatherinformation from the museum to complete GCSE-focussedworksheets.

Former Springbok Rugbyinternational Thinus Delporthelped the Year 7 Humanitiesstudents prepare to deliver aWorld Cup themed festival toYear 4 students this term.Thinus spoke to the studentsabout the 6 keys to success,the importance of teamworkand what leadership involves. The students were a credit to theschool and we are sure that their forthcoming festival will be a greatsuccess.

Our partnership primary school teams came ready for battle at theannual U10 cricket festival at Great Tew Cricket Club. The cricketmatches were competitive and everyone really enjoyed representingtheir own schools. Our Year 10 Sports Leaders worked very hardand did a fantastic job as umpires.

The summer term continues to be busy - our valuefor the term is “Creativity” and we have certainlyenjoyed being a creative school. To coincide with Arts Week, we held our very own artexhibition and competition which was enjoyed byboth the school community and Holy Trinity Church parishioners. Congratulations to ourwinners Lily Smart, Zoe Pearson, Bea Lawson andGabby Heath. Continuing with our art theme,we enjoyed a visit to Kingham Sculpture Trail – the

children were inspired to create their own sculpturesusing a variety of materials including wire, paper and willow.

Our Key Stage 2 choir attended Dorchester Abbeyto take part in the Festival of Voices. The concert featured a massed choirof 250 children, selected from 10 different Oxfordshire primary schools,accompanied by a youth band. It was a wonderful musical experience forboth performers and audience.

June saw several of our key stage 2 children taketheir first Holy Communion. Benji Lawson explained,“it makes me feel very special to have taken my FirstHoly Communion. I feel a lot closer to God.”Excellent, enthralling and enriching were the wordsused to describe Year 4’s residential trip to Everdonin Northamptonshire. The children enjoyed shelter building, exploring animal habitatsand a treasure hunt as part of their activities. Year 2children also enjoyed a wonderful sunny, day at theseaside. Sand castles, donkey rides and obligatoryice cream, fish and chips on the beach were enjoyed by bothstaff and children.

COTSWOLD WILDLIFE PARKFoundation Stage class had a fantastic time at the Cotswold Wildlife Parkand even managed to stay dry. The children learnt about lots of differentanimals around the world.

Finally, at the end of July we will say a fond farewell to our Year 6 pupilswho have had a hectic last term gaining their cycling proficiency awards,sports leader’s awards, leading a young entrepreneur project and theOliver performance. We wish them great success on the next stage oftheir journey.

Holy TrinityRC School Sports

What an outstanding year for sport at Cold Aston! As PE co-ordinator I am

delighted with the success of our teams and overwhelmed with the percentage

of participation this year, therefore an enormous well done to all children

involved. The Kiwk cricket teams had a great afternoon at Bourton, with the A

team earning their place at the Cheltenham College final. The B team had a

wonderful team spirit and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Year 5 and 6

participated in the swimming gala, while six Key Stage 2 children go on to the

athletics finals at Deer Park.

Healthy Eating and Exercise Week Children attended workshops focussing

on keeping our bodies healthy, they made healthy snacks, looked at healthy

food types, why we exercise and also visited a relaxation room! The children

also performed a wonderful wake and shake for all parents, well done to those

who joined in! Miss Stevenson, a cardiac nurse, came to talk to the children

about keeping our heart’s healthy. Year 1 and 2 visited Tesco in Stow on their

‘Farm to Fork’ scheme, they explored the different sections and ‘shopped’ for

a healthy dinner, finally they feasted on some fruit! Thank you to Tesco for

having us and our volunteers.

News The rain held off for Year 2 at Sherborne woods allowing them to have

a wonderful morning of stories in the beautiful National Trust woods. It was

fabulously organised and the children had a superb time. Year 5 and 6 children

attended a public speaking workshop this week.

Class 1 are looking forward to their pirate day, Class 2 are in full football spirit

while Class 3 and 4 continue to study Wind in the Willows in preparation for

our performances, we do hope you can join us.

This month’s article brings you the latest news from StCatharine’s Parent Action Group, our parent/teacherfundraising charitable group for the school. PAG organise a tremendousfundraising programme each year and raise several thousand poundswhich is ploughed back in to the school to directly benefit our children.The main fundraising event last term was the Spring Fair. What a fantasticday it was, we were blessed with a glorious warm and sunny day and funactivities in abundance. The fantastic ‘Dog Show’ was the star event ofthe day and the pony rides were a hit as always.

The BBQ went down a storm with delicious sausages and burgers fromLower Clopton Farm shop and divine cakes in our cream tea tent weresnapped up. Children at the fair were spoilt for choice when it came tofun activities, with the bouncy castle, face and nail painting,’ Beat theGoalie’ and ‘Name the Sheep’ competitions keeping everyone happy. We’re delighted to report we made almost £1,500 at the fair and hope tobe able to match fund a proportion of money raised. Our thanks go toparents and the local business community who supported us bydonating fantastic raffle prizes and to everybody who helped on the day.We have ‘Yoga Saturday’ planned for the summer term which is beingrun by yoga expert Sophie Whitehouse and will be fun for all the family,and our Summer BBQ and Games Night will be held in July. This isalways a popular event welcoming all current and new families to enjoy afantastic BBQ, refreshments and traditional games for the children -wheelbarrows at the ready! Our Year 6 Leavers’ Play is a highlight of thesummer term and brings our fundraising programme for the term to aclose. This year’s production is Shakespeare Rocks: a hilarious butfactually correct take on the life, work & times of William Shakespeare.

The children are enjoying rehearsals and PAG will be providingrefreshments at the evening performances. Over the last 10 months wehave ploughed just under £12,000 in to school activities and projects.Over half of that has been invested in extending the facilities for childrento enjoy in our dedicated Early Years environment, and we have fundedForest School which all the children have attended this term. We haveinvested in a portable music trolley which can be moved easily betweenclassrooms and funded numerous coach trips allowing the children toattend external events to support their classroom-based learning. All ofthis is possible through the energy of our fantastic group of parents whogive their time and expertise so generously. Thank you to you all formaking this another fantastic year of fundraising.Gill Theo, Chair St Catharine’s Parent Action Group

The Junior pupils are all back following two veryexciting residential visits to the Forest of Dean.The Year 3 and Year 4 children spent three daysproblem solving, orienteering, flying through theair on a zip wire, climbing, getting wet wellies ontheir stream study and tunnelling. The fun ofbeing out of doors and staying away with theirfriends was a joy to see. The Year 5 and Year 6children spent a full five days in the Forest ofDean enjoying similar studies along with highwire trapeze jumps, caving at Clearwell Caves,shelter building and field sports.

The Infants topic for this term is castles which included a visit toWarwick Castle. The children were impressed by the sheer size of the castle and loved climbing to the top of the tower. The firing of thetrebuchet and the birds of prey display were very popular.

The junior class are studying the Egyptians this term and have paid avisit to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The visit included a workshop on Life and Death in Ancient Egypt.

The display showing the inside of the Egyptian mummies usingscanning techniques was very impressive.

The year 6 are busy with their enterprise project having set upbusinesses and are producing Elderflower cordial, cakes, strawberryjam and growing bedding plants. The goods will all be sold at theVillage Coffee Morning and after school. Hopefully a large profit will bemade!

Bishop Martyn of TewkesburyThe children were delighted by the visit of Bishop Martyn Snow and

particularly enjoyed asking questions about his role. They werefascinated to hear about his ministry in Africa and were particularly

impressed when they learnt that he worked in a cathedral!

Tag Rugby: Second in Gloucestershire!Last month our tag rugby team battled their way to the County Finals

and were only narrowly beaten by Heron Primary. Both TempleGuiting and Heron qualified for the regional finals in Taunton.

Well we have had an amazing start to the last term of the academic year!

Sports day was held on a lovely sunny but not too hot, afternoon with

loads of parents and friends supporting all the children. The Green team

were the victorious champions and everyone had a great time, including

the mums and dads who all got very competitive in their race!

The PTFA have organised a wonderful summer disco for the pupils with

an under -water theme. Class 5 decided all wore onesies!! Lots of

dancing and even karaoke took place and everyone had the chance to

have an ice lolly on the way out to help cool down on a very warm

evening! The hall was decorated with a massive octopus made from

balloons, jelly fish made from crepe paper and origami fish.

These are remaining in the hall until our Summer Fair which is on Friday

4th July, 6 til 8 pm. Everyone is welcome to come along!

We are looking forward to welcoming the new reception children into our

school on their induction afternoons over the next few weeks where they

will be able to experience life in the classroom, this is a great opportunity

for them to get to know their new teachers and teaching assistants and

also use their spacious outdoor learning area with the fort, forest school,

sandpit and learning resources.

The year 6 children are getting ready to attend their induction days at the

Cotswold school in the first week of July and the whole of the juniors are

rehearsing for their summer performance of ‘Robin Hood’.

Our sponsored walk this year is going to be in aid if LINC cancer charity,

everyone in the school will walk around Stow on the 27th June so please

look out for us as we are raising money for a very worthwhile cause!

Class 2 are going to have an overnight stay at Malvern, where they will

be able to experience low ropes courses, zip wires, obstacle course and

archery! We hope that the lovely weather remains with us until then!

We had a hugely successful Science Week in June. One of our parents,Dt Bottley, sheared his sheep and brought in wool for usto investigate. Who knew that each fibre had littlehooks? We are now all lanolin experts. On another day,we had a set of bikes in school, thanks to our DPA,which we pedalled like mad to create enough electricityto have music and flashing lights in the courtyard. Wealso powered some smoothie machines and loved the results! On the Friday,all children from years 1-6 visited the Science Festival inCheltenham. It was great fun, we learnt loads andhad a great day.

We are looking forward to our sponsored walk toBatsford soon and have been deciding whichcharities to support. Many of the older childrenprepared pitches about various charities and theoutcome of our whole-school vote is that we will be raising money forGuide Dogs, RSPCA and Water Aid – all great causes. As usual, we willbe running activities right through the summer holidays. Dormer and non-Dormer children are welcome every day between 8-6pm. There is acomprehensive programme of sports, arts and other entertainment for 2-11 year olds. Please see www.dormerhouse.co.uk for details.

In addition, our very popular 11+ preparation classes will be taking placeon Friday mornings throughout the summer, just to keep those skillsticking over. Further details are on our website but hurry because placesare limited.

Compost giveaway to green fingeredresidents

Green fingered residents can benefit from a free compostgiveaway this month.

Over 10 tonnes of recycled compost will be given away by West Oxfordshire DistrictCouncil at The Leys, Witney on Friday 27 June from 12 noon until 3pm.

The compost will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents aresimply asked to bring their own bag(s) to collect the recycled compost.

Last year the District Council collected over 10,000 tonnes of garden waste fromhomes across West Oxfordshire. This is processed at a composting site nearChipping Norton by Agrivert Ltd (which is supplying the compost for the giveaway).

Along with free compost, recycling officers will also be offering residents free:• food waste bins and caddies• kitchen caddy liners• recycling box nets• ‘Love Food Hate Waste’ recipe booksDiscounted home composting bins will also be available to purchase for half price,at a cost of just £10.

Around a third of people’s rubbish bin is usually organic waste - diverting food andgarden waste from landfill means less pollution and fewer harmful greenhousegases from rotting waste.

Cllr David Harvey, Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: “We have beencollecting food and garden waste free from resident’s homes since 2010. Thecompost giveaway is our chance to give a little something back to say ‘thank you’for recycling. If successful, we hope to hold more events across the District.”

“Home composting is still the cheapest and most environmentally friendly way todeal with garden waste and food waste, such as peelings, as it requires notransport or processing” explained Sian Stokes, Waste and Recycling Officer for theDistrict Council.

“Composting is simple to do and the end result will bring many benefits to yourgarden – improving your soil and helping to cut plant disease. As well as sellingdiscounted home compost bins at the giveaway, our master composter will also beon hand to answer any questions."

A full list of items that can go in garden waste bins, and other recycling/waste bins,is available at www.westoxon.gov.uk/bins or by calling 01993 861000. People canalso register for free green waste collections online or by calling this number.
