Richard Reid then held an auction to sell the produce kindly donated by parents. The children raised a total of £235.43. (church collection £126.43, auction £84 and a donation from the Manor Inn £25) All the money raised is for the Royal British Legion.
St Paul’s Visit135 pupils from years 3 & 4 at St Paul’s C of E VC enjoyed a visit to Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Wraxhall. The children had a lovely time exploring different habitats and meeting a wide range of animals. The visit was an extended learning opportunity to support learning in Science & Geography topics.

Regular classes at Lower Coxbridge Glastonbury Held in cosy fire lit studio
Christmas is nearly here and it’s time to get out your party clothes and enjoy the festive season.You’ve spent the last few weeks Christmas shopping for presents and what seems to be enough food to feed the fi ve thousand. You’ve lost count of the number of presents you’ve wrapped and cards that you’ve written. You’ve been making costumes for nativity plays and been a taxi service for the children. You’ve been tangled up in Christmas lights and decorated the house to look like a Winter wonderland...it’s now time for you to enjoy the festive season and do something for yourself.
New Year’s Eve creeps up on all of us and before we know it we are celebrating the start of yet another year. We contemplate where the last year has disappeared and discuss our New Year’s resolutions, even though the majority of us have forgotten our resolutions from the previous year...but not this year...2013 is going to be the year you stick to yours. It’s a brand new year so why not make it a brand new you to match.
Around 7 million people in the UK make New Year’s resolutions to improve their health, but sticking to it in the dark winter months can be particularly tough. However it’s worth remembering that just 15 minutes of exercise a day can increase life expectancy by up to 3 years! Exercise classes can also be a great way to get fi t, make friends and have fun. There are so many exercise classes that you could try from Yoga and Pilates that help develop core strength and tone the body to Zumba and high impact aerobics that will really get you burning calories and toning all at the same time as shaking your stuff! Aerobic classes have some great health benefi ts.If you are thinking about dieting you should always consult with your GP before starting. If you have decided a diet is one of your New Year’s resolutions you could join a slimming club where you will be able to meet new people who are also experiencing the same challenge as you. A slimming club is a great way to ensure that you are following a healthy eating plan and at the same time you can share you successes and even your bad days with people who understand. Many slimming groups offer generous eating plans making slimming easier, which is good news if you have enjoyed numerous mince pies, chocolates and turkey curries over Christmas and are worried about being on a strict regime. With professional support and encouragement you will certainly shift those excess pounds.

Why shop locally?It is very important we support our high street traders by doing as much of our shopping as we possibly can locally. A lot of independent local traders and their businesses are beginning to die out, resulting in a large number of high street shops gradually closing down and being left boarded-up. By shopping locally you can make a difference to the livelihood of the traders and to the landscape of your local high street or town. Shopping locally is one of the best ways to build a stronger, more prosperous community. There are many reasons to support local, independent businesses in your community, including:
1. Protect Local Characters and ProsperityYour Community is unlike any other place in the world. By choosing to support locally owned businesses, you help maintain local diversity and distinctive culture.2. Community Well-BeingLocally owned businesses build strong neighborhoods by sustaining communities, linking neighbors, and by contributing more to local causes.3. Local Decision MakingLocal ownership means that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.4. Keeping £ in the Local EconomyPounds spent in locally-owned businesses have three times the impact on your community as pounds spent at national chains. When shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more services through investment in neighborhood improvements and promoting community development.5. Job and WagesLocally owned businesses create more jobs locally and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefi ts.
6. Public Benefi ts and CostsLocal stores in town centres require comparatively little infrastructure and make more effi cient use of public services.7. Environmental SustainabilityLocal stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centres-which in turn are essential to reducing vehicle use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution.8. CompetitionA marketplace of hundreds or thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.9. Product DiversityA multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.

PETS
CORNER
Allowing your children to have pets starting at an early age is a great way to teach them how to handle responsibility. More than this, children who grow up taking care of at least one pet tend to adopt a more caring attitude towards animals and other people. It is easy to see why having pets around is an important part of raising children.
