Isle Group of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Thursday April 7th 2022 at 7.30pm
On Thursday April 7th at 7.30pm the Isle Group of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust will hold their monthly meeting in Belton Church Hall. This month we are having a talk on Natterjack Toads by Matt Blissett.
We are a volunteer led and run organisation consisting of a board of trustees and a maintenance committee made up of Trustees and members of the public. One such proposal is to enhance a fence replacement by the addition of advertising panels to which end we are circulating the attached letter to local businesses seeking support. Over the years we have seen less volunteers coming forward to act as trustees or join the maintenance committee and so the essential work falls on a smaller group as time goes by.
Natterjack toads are a rare protected, species of toad which live in only a few places in Britain, including part of the coast of Lincolnshire. Matt is the warden of the area where they occur and he and the assistant warden Ruth will be telling us all about these rare amphibians.
If you can spare the time or have ideas for fund raising that you can carry out you will be made very welcome. Anyone requiring information can contact Fred Brumby, Chair of Trustees on mobile number 07944708786.
Belton All Saints Centre, Stocks Hill, Belton, DN9 1PE Natterjack Toads by Matt Blissett
We meet in the spacious venue, Belton All Saints Centre (Church Hall) which is next to the Church on Stocks Hill off the High Street in Belton.. The committee will do everything they can to make sure we have an enjoyable and safe meeting. Everyone is welcome, you don't have to be a member of the Wildlife Trust so please come along and join us. Entrance fee is £1. There will be refreshments and a raffle. For further information about the local Trust group and their meetings please contact Tony Lee on 01427 753831 or Chris Trinder on 01427 872051. Details about the group are also on the Lincolnshire Trust web site under area groups.
Would you consider sponsoring Epworth War Memorial Field – a local volunteer led charity? The Epworth War Memorial Field like a lot of small charities has suffered loss of income over the last two years owing to the covid pandemic and has now to look at ways of making up shortfalls in finances in order to carry out necessary maintenance projects to ensure the future of the facility for future generations.

West Butterwick C of E Primary School Trentside Federation In our school we dressed up as our favourite characters for world book day. During the day, the children had a visit from Rappaman, who performed various different poems from his latest book. The children then had a go at writing their own poems with the Rappaman. Who knew poetry writing could be so thrilling? The experience definitely gave us a new perspective when approaching poetry. Later that day, children were able to record themselves reading a poem and then they chose a picture to disguise their identity. In assembly, the whole school worked together to figure out who the masked reader was. This was fun because even the teachers joined in with the fun. We had a lot of fun learning how to write fun and quirky poems while also experiencing Rap style music! Do you like our costumes? Can you guess what characters we dressed up as?

Thoughts & Prayers for Ukraine from Belton and Wroot Primary Federation After the events that have unfolded over the past two weeks, our thoughts go out to all those affected by the war in Ukraine. At the Belton and Wroot Federation we pray for peace, calm and comfort. As parents we realise there are some times when we may want to shield our children from the atrocities of the world around them, and the difficulties of society, but equally we all know that we need to talk to our children about difficult situations. CBBC's Newsround tells the news of what is happening in a child friendly way. Visit the link below to read more https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround.
