From the VicarFrom the VicarDear Friends
We have finally finished withChristmastide, (which ended with the
feast of the Presentation of Christ in theTemple, last Sunday, 31st January) and hard-ly can we draw breath, before we are con-fronted with the beginning of the next sea-son in the church’s year; Lent - which beginson Ash Wednesday, 10th February. Oneyear we seem to have weeks and weeksbefore the start of Lent, the next, it is uponalmost without our realising.
The issue of fixing the date of Easter con-tinues to cause problems and a few days
ago, it was announced that the Archbishopof Canterbury, the Most Reverend JustinWelby, hopes to remedy the situation – Iwish him well!
It would bring to an end one of thelongest-running disputes within the
church, throughout the world. The hope isthat the change could be made within thenext five to ten years, in a move that is likelyto have quite serious repercussions for us all,whether we work or are still at school. TheArchbishop says he will be talking to otherleaders of the various denominations withinthe Christian Church, including PopeFrancis and the Coptic Pope to hopefullynegotiate an agreement. It is one of thosedecisions where all parties will need to agree– a tall order indeed!
Pope Francis has already discussed chang-ing the date of Easter. Last year he said
that “we have to come to an agreement”about changing the date, at a meeting ofpriests from around the world, according tothe Catholic News Agency, but that was asfar as it went. Our Archbishop did remindus that churches have been attempting sincethe tenth century to fix the date of Easter,which at the moment is set with reference to
the moon and the sun – it could be an uphillstruggle.
The legal foundation for changing the dateof Easter has been in law since the
Easter Act of 1928. In order for the changeto happen, in an ideal world, all churchesneed to agree to it, even though the law actu-ally allows the Government to simply decideto fix the date, Parliament has deferred tochurches, so far.
For the record, since the fourth century,the date of Easter always falls on the first
Sunday, after the first full moon, after thespring equinox! (I hope that’s clear!?) Thatmeans of course that it varies hugely fromyear-to-year, leading to all the mix-ups, con-fusion and inconvenience.
Will the date of Easter ever be fixed?Who knows? Watch this space – but
don’t hold your breath!
Iam yours in Christ, John.

Great Gaddesden Bellringers - Sue Collyer

Ido love the Christmas festivities, but Ialso love this time of year when the
cakes and chocolate have all been eaten,things have calmed down and there's anopportunity to take stock and plan forthe year ahead.
We rang on several joyful occasionsover the Christmas season – for
the Carol service on Sunday 20th wherewe also played 3 carols on handbells; forthe crib service on Christmas Eve; andalso of course on Christmas morning -in my opinion, there's nothing betterthan hearing the bells ringing out loudand clear on Christmas morning – I hopeof those who live around the churchagree! Those parishioners who live closeto the church may have missed our tradi-tional celebration of the arrival of theNew Year - sadly this year we did nothave enough ringers to ring in 2016.
Ican report the outcome of the WesternDistrict quarter peal event which took
place over the weekend of November20th to 22nd when 15 quarter peals wereattempted in 9 different towers. A greatweekend was had by all and 13 of the 15attempts were successful. There were 3attempts at Bob Doubles, 3 at Plain BobMinor, 2 at Plain Bob Major, and otherattempts included Mixed Doubles,Superlative Surprise Major, GrandsireTriples, London Surprise Minor, BourneSurprise Minor, Double Norwich CourtBob Major, and Pudsey. A very impres-sive selection of methods being rung inone district!
Three of us from the GreatGaddesden band took part by ring-
ing in our own tower. Jen achieved herfirst quarter peal ringing the tenorbehind to a selection of mixed doubles.Very well done Jen. I got my quarterringing the number 3 bell inside to BobDoubles and Val made sure we were welllooked after ringing with us. I was luckyenough also to ring the treble to a quar-ter peal on the Tring bells. It is a bigstep doing a quarter peal – it involvesringing continuously for about 45 min-utes, keeping concentration and focuswhile remembering the pattern andprogress of the method – and all the timetrying to produce perfect striking andregular rhythm. I managed to do all ofthese things some of the time, but cer-tainly not all of it. I am reminded of thatgreat Morecambe and Wise sketch whereEric pointed out that he played all theright notes but not necessarily in theright order!
On a more sombre note, we rang ourpractice evening on the 16th
December with the bells half-muffled asa mark of respect following the suddenand unexpected death of Sonia Wood, awell-known and respected member ofthe parish who has been a long-standingmember of the church, also making greatcontributions to the wonderful creationsof the flower team. She will be muchmissed and we had the honour to ringwith the bells open on January 22nd forthe thanksgiving service which was a cel-ebration of Sonia's life and an opportuni-ty for her many friends and family toshare together in remembrance.

A belated Happy New Year from all at GreatGaddesden School. It has been a busy startto 2016 with lots planned for the SpringTerm. Alongside academic learning, childrenare looking forward to experiencing DramaWorkshops, Theatre Trips, Martial Arts andFootball and Netball Matches against otherlocal schools.
We are currently in the process of trainingour Year Five and Six pupils as “PlayLeaders”. Our play-leaders will work inteams of three and take one lunch-time aweek to provide an activity/game foryounger children. This peer support willhelp to improve play provision across theschool and help to ensure pupils are gettingthe most out of their lunchtime breaks.
As I write this in January, the school has notyet received our anticipated Ofsted Visitwhich was due in November 2015. We nowexpect to be visited by Ofsted this term.
We had some good news back in Decemberregarding our academic attainment. We weredelighted to discover that in theDepartment for Education’s recently pub-lished School League Tables for 2015, theschool was placed 20th out of over fivehundred schools in the whole ofHertfordshire for academic attainment,which also puts us within the top threeschools in Dacorum! Our success wasnoted by a small mention in the DailyTelegraph.
Smaller than average pupil cohort numbersmean attainment can vary year-on-year muchmore than it does in a larger school, but thisresult is a testament to the hard work ofthe pupils and staff at the school and weare very proud of our achievements!
Last term Years One & Two learnt about theGreat Fire of London. Their teacher MissGroves has recounted their learning of atopic which captured many of their imagina-tions.
Years Three & Four wrote some fantasticHaikus based on celebrating the New Year,which are also featured in the newsletter thismonth. As a reminder, in a Haiku, lines are5, 7 and 5 syllables long!
The deadline has now passed for Receptionapplications, but new Nursery applicationscan still be made directly to the school. Thedeadline for nursery is 18th March 2016.The school continues to have two intakes forNursery in September 2016 and January2017. Please contact the school if you wouldbe interested in a tour.
Clare Rudd, Parent Governor
Learning in Year One and Two – from MissGroves
Last term in year one and two we learnt allabout The Great Fire of London. We learntall about how the fire started in Pudding Laneand spread through the city of London. Weread extracts from Samuel Pepys diary to findout exactly what it was like in London in1666.
Did you know that he buried his cheese andwine in his garden so the fire didn’t destroyit?!
We created a class timeline and placed theevents of the 4 days in chronological order,before discussing what life was like back in1666.
We also discussed the positives that came
(cont. P11)

from The Great Fire of London (there are afew!) The fire brigade was set up to help thosein need. Laws were passed to make saferhouses built from brick and stone and thestreets of London were cleaned on a more reg-ular basis to help combat the spread of fire.
We also linked our art topic of ‘Light’ to ourlearning of The Great Fire of London by cre-ating our own fire pictures using chalks andother materials.
We also learnt about fire safety in the presentday. We talked about what to do and who tocall in a fire emergency. We role played call-ing the emergency services and discussed howwe can keep ourselves safe at home andschool.

Spring Update It’s been a busy start to 2016 at Gaddesden Row JMI School. We started the term with launching our new approach to teaching and learning: having a growth mindset. We believe that every pupil can develop their abilities through effort, persistence and learning from mistakes. This way of thinking is called a growth mindset and developing it can help make our pupils more resilient for life. We have spent a lot of time teaching our pupils that although nobody likes getting things wrong, we should use these setbacks to motivate us. Challenge and effort means we are learning and growing our brains. The children have loved learning about having a growth mindset and as a result have set themselves some excellent targets for the term. Following on from the Christmas season, we have been overwhelmed by the response from the local residents thanking the children for their cards and presents. In the last week of the autumn term, the whole school walked to the local village to deliver handmade Christmas cards and baubles made by the children. It was a delight to talk to the village about the school and see the children enjoy the gift of giving at Christmas. Long may the links between the local community continue.

Parish Hall
GAMES EVENING
Friday19th February 7.30pm start
As the village of Great Gaddesden (that is the area around the Church,Garden Centre and the Parish Hall) is missing that vital watering hole and we
do not have anywhere to socialise easily as a community, we are looking tohold a games/pub evening in the Parish Hall for our local community.
The evening will offer games such as Bingo, Play your Cards Right,Dominoes, Crib etc. We would like you to join in or just enjoy great compa-ny over a glass of your favourite tipple. You can bring your own nibbles and
whatever you will be drinking.
The evening is predominantly geared towards adults but we understand theissues around ‘sitters so children are welcome and can of course join in thegames but they are solely your responsibility and will need to sit with you.
We would look to run these evenings on a regular basisif this one is successful.
Let us know your thoughts and if you can make it.

Gaddesden Estate NewsGaddesden Estate NewsFarmingThis winter has seen so much rain thatthe ground is absolutely saturated. Wehave not been able to complete the sprayprogramme yet. With luck conditionswill improve enough for this to be carriedout over the next few weeks. The mainreason for the current spraying is to elim-inate the charlock growing in the fieldssown to in the oilseed rape, the seed ofwhich can contaminate the sample.Another consequence of the ground con-ditions is that it is unlikely that we willcomplete our hedgecutting programmefor this winter, bearing in mind thatunder the new rules of “CrossCompliance” we cannot cut hedges afterthe end of February.
As an experiment we have sown part of acouple of fields with a “cover crop” offodder radish. This will both act as agreen manure for a spring crop and withits long root we hope have a similar effectas deep cultivation.
In the meantime we had our annualinspection from NSF Agriculture toenable us to remain compliant with theAssured Combinable Crops Scheme. Aswith all inspections this involved adetailed check on all the grain and otherstores as well as a thorough check on allour paperwork. Luckily with the excep-tion of one minor technical observationwe have passed for another year. It is auseful discipline as the tidy-up sometimesreveals things which we need to attend.
Almost all of the 2015 crop has been soldand moved, though there are just a few
lorry loads left, to be shifted this month.
Stella FrogleyWe were sad to learn of the death of MrsFrogley, who died in January. She wasthe secretary at the Home Farm for manyyears in the 1960s and 1970s. She andGwen Tomlin kept the office runningsmoothly during some very busy times offarming development. In those daysbefore the advent of computers, they rana very noisy NCR Accounting Machine.Prior to harvest each year, Gwen used toorganise a team of off duty firemen tojoin the farm staff, walking through theripening fields of wheat and barley“rouging” the wild oat plants. A pro-gramme, which over the years, provedsuccessful in reducing this perniciousweed.
Estate maintenanceWe are very busy at present with proper-ty maintenance, both refurbishing housesand cottages following changes in occu-pation, and upgrading some of our com-mercial units.
ForestryWe have not yet finalised our programmefor 2016. Most of our effort recently hasgone into understanding and completingthe new forestry management plans,which since the changes in the EUCommon Agricultural Policy the govern-ment, in their wisdom, has combinedwith the agricultural schemes.

Come along and support the Ashridge Estate! How?... By buying top quality plants at the Ashridge SpringPlant Fair on 15th May 2016. The volunteers at the Friends of Ashridge run a Plant Fair on behalf of theNational Trust at Ashridge taking place on the Green at the foot of the Bridgewater monument. This willbe our 20th consecutive Spring Plant Fair and we now regularly raise circa £7000 each year to help theNational Trust maintain the Ashridge Estate. There is free parking and no entry fee. There is also a tearoom available and the National Trust shop to visit. Please come and browse amongst the thousands ofplants that will be on display and the plant stock available from small visiting nurseries on a commercialbasis. These nurseries kindly donate a percentage of their earnings to the National Trust Plant Fair.
The majority of our plants are from volunteer growers and private gardens. If you have any plants todonate to the Fair then we would love to hear from you. . To donate any plants, please contact the organis-er, John Cartwright on 01442 864 984. The Plant Fair is on Sunday 15 May 2016, 11am till 4pm at theNational Trust Ashridge Visitor Centre, Monument Drive, Ringshall HP4 1LX. We look forward to seeingyou.
