Can you help a child with reading and communication?
Literacy Volunteers are looking to recruit Volunteers to help children to enjoy reading and communicating. Volunteers help in local primary schools with children who are finding reading difficult. They do not teach reading. Instead they talk, read and play games with children to give them confidence and help them enjoy reading and communicating. Volunteers go to a school on the same morning or afternoon each week, help selected children on an individual basis for an agreed length of time each session (usually half an hour) and talk, read, play games, draw and write with the children in a suitable place away from the classroom. Volunteers also enjoy their time with the children and make sure each child enjoys each session too. Volunteers do not need any formal qualifications. Training and ongoing support is provided and consists of: an initial training course, vetting including an Enhanced Disclosure obtained from the Disclosure and Barring Service, ongoing training sessions, meetings with other Volunteers and visits to schools by Area Co-ordinators.Should you be interested in finding out more or joining this scheme please contact Literacy Volunteers direct on 0115 876 5474 or email contact@literacyvolunteers.org.uk . The next meeting of the Sandiacre History Group will take place on Thursday 18th June 2015 the Sandiacre Methodist Church Hall in Butt Street at 7.30pm. There will be an illustrated talk by Nigel Lowey entitled The History and Regeneration of St. Pancras Station There is a £2 admission charge for visitors, who are most welcome. Sandiacre History Group meets six times per year and the annual membership is £7 per person or £11 for two people living at the same address. For more information please contact Mrs Sheila Hickingbotham on 0115 939 8057.

Science behind a smile Mother Teresa said, “We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.” Haven’t we all experienced feeling good because someone smiled at us. Yet science tells us that there is nothing simple about a smile. Imagine an appealing child or a cute kitten and you probably smile. Electrical signals travel from the cortex of your brain to the brainstem (the part that deals with basic body functions such as breathing, heart rate etc.). From there, cranial nerves carry the signal onwards to muscles in your face and you smile. But have you ever noticed that as you smile you actually feel happier? This is due to a positive feedback loop whereby electrical signals are fed back to the brain from the smiling-muscles, reinforcing our feeling of joy. Our brain feels good so tells us to smile: we smile and this tells our brain we feel good.Researchers have found that smiling can be as happiness-inducing as receiving a large unexpected cash bonus! Did you know that there are two sorts of smiles - the fake smile and the genuine smile? In both the fake and the real smile, the zygomaticus major muscle - which controls the corners of your mouth - is activated. But in a genuine smile, the obicularis occuli muscle - which encircles our eye socket - is also activated. Scientists call the first smile a social smile, and the second a Duchenne smile, named after the scientist who first discovered it.We are surprisingly good at distinguishing between a real and fake smile, and we do this in three ways. First, we unconsciously compare the geometry of a person’s face to a standard smile. Second, we think about context and judge whether a smile is expected. Finally, we automatically mimic the smile, to feel for ourself whether it is fake or real. In fact if we are prevented from mimicking a smile (e.g. by clenching a pencil between our teeth) our ability to differentiate a real smile from a fake smile decreases dramatically! Smiling reduces stress and generates more positive emotions. This is why we often feel happier around children – they smile more. Children smile on average about 400 times a day. Happy adults smile 40-50 times a day, but most of us only smile a maximum of 20 times. Yet smiling more is good for our health. Our brain even keeps track of our smiles - a smile scorecard if you like, so it knows our emotional state. Scientists discovered that people who smile the most are mentally more healthy, and live on average some seven years longer than the rest of us. The good news is, smiling is contagious so spread yours around. As Louis Armstrong sang, “When you’re smilin’, keep on smilin’. The whole world smiles with you…” By Louise Addison

Grapevine Money Saving Tips Many people drink smoothies as a healthy shortcut to their five-a-day portions of fruit and vegetables, but there's nothing healthy about the price of these drinks. Buying a smoothie maker or jug blender and blending your own could save you a significant sum if you're a regular smoothie drinker. *Look out for fruit at the supermakets at knock down prices, ideal for smothies and save money too.

Messing About on the River
If you are looking for something a little different this year, why not try a canal boat holiday. You do not need any previous experience or a boat licence to hire a canal boat, and you and your crew will be given all the training you need before you set off on your holiday. You will be taught how to use the controls which are fairly simple: the tiller controls left and right, and you push the lever forwards to go forward and backwards to stop or reverse. Life jackets are supplied to children and non swimmers for extra safety. You can go to many different parts of the UK and choose your own itinerary. You can choose to moor up near a quiet canal side village or in a city centre. Birmingham for instance is famous for having more canals than Venice. It’s a good idea to look at maps and guides in advance, and talk to your hire company to plan a realistic route. Remember that the pace is slow. The speed limit on canals is just four miles an hour. Kids or grandparents will love helping at the locks, and as you will be in a different
26
place every day, you can find something to suit everyone along the way. This type of holiday is also ideal for dogs as there will be plenty of open spaces and trafficfree walking. You will gain a new love of nature as you spot birds and wildlife along the way. You might also choose to do some fishing from the boat or the banks, but do remember you may need to buy a rod licence. There will also be many other highly decorated craft to see along the way. It’s great fun waving to those on the tow path, and some of your party might choose to cycle on the paths or walk parts of the route whilst you steer. Today’s holiday boats are bright and modern and all the comforts of home are available. The Galley is fully equipped with oven, hob and fridge and in some cases a micro wave. You will find all the utensils, crockery and glasses that you need on board. Lounges are fitted with comfortable seating, and some have DVD’s as well as TV’s. Bathrooms have hot and cold running water to the showers and sinks and a flushing loo!. There is usually a mix of single and double beds and often central heating. If you are really looking for complete rest and relaxation, why not try one of the canal hotels that can also be found on the water. You get your own skipper and crew, who know the history of the canals, and you can share the trip with like-minded people. It’s the perfect way to unwind. By Susan Brookes-Morris

National Vegetarian Week 18th-24th May Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish or poultry. Among the many reasons for being a vegetarian are health, compassion for animals, and religious beliefs. Recent research commissioned by the Eating Better Alliance discovered that: 1.

25% of the British public say they are eating less meat than a year ago 34% are willing to consider eating less meat One in six (17%) young people say they don’t eat any meat

greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Sweets and fatty foods should be limited. Statistically, if you choose the diet above you are choosing an option which should boost your chances of living a long and healthy life. Compared to meat eaters vegetarians have up to 30% less heart disease, up to 40% less cancer, 20% less premature death, less obesity and lower blood pressure...but why? Well the good vegetarian diet outlined above contains more carbohydrate, more vitamin C, more fibre and more cancer fighting phytochemicals than one where a high proportion of the calories come from meat. So why not make your greengrocer your new best friend this month and get cooking in celebration of all things veggie! By Louise Addison

Retiring Soon?
The Nottingham and District Pre-Retirement Group has been in operation for
over 48 years. Our next Planning for Change seminars will take place at Beeston Town Hall 18-20 May and then on 22 – 24 June and monthly thereafter. Our Seminars cover a wide range of subject matter appertaining to making your retirement successful. They are rounded to give an overall prospective of retirement matters, both practical and the psychological needs of retirement. We cover Pensions, Income Tax, Legal matters, Security, Consumer Rights and a host of other subjects all of which can be viewed on our website at www.ndprc.org. uk In the past we have helped staff from local Councils, Universities, Civil Servants and both local and international companies. So, if you are looking to fill in the gaps in your retirement come and join us on a Pre-Retirement Course and get your retirement off to a flying start. The Course Leader is a retired person who can give first-hand experience and help. Refreshments and a 3 course buffet lunch will be provided. Each speaker is an expert in their own field and will be available during the breaks to answer any personal queries. We are partners with the Pensions Service (DWP) and any new legislation will be covered during the sessions. There are many important changes coming up which will affect decisions in relation to the New Pension Freedoms which have been announced and full details will be explained on the course. We encourage husbands and wives to attend together, as retirement affects both parties. These courses will be particularly pertinent in relation to the Flat Rate State Pension which will start in April 2016, and the options of deferring your pension, taking lump sums and the tax implications these decisions will have. An Information Pack will be provided to take home and refer to after the course so you can contact us if you need further help and support. Our offices in Beeston are open Mon – Fri 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Finally, just take a moment to ponder on the following before you make up your mind……. “A two and a half day course on retirement? Not for me, I’m retiring. I’m just going to enjoy myself and take it easy. I don’t need to make plans or be told how to pass my time” Well, that’s fine, we hope you do enjoy yourself and are able to relax a bit more. But…….. is that all there is to retirement, isn’t there a bit more to it than that?

For example, how can you be sure that you have received, without prejudice, the best financial advice to safeguard your future, so that you can enjoy yourself without worry? Do you have any questions about taxation in retirement, such as “if I have a part time job will I pay tax and, if so, how much?” or “how much will my investment be affected”. If I live in my villa in Spain, will I still receive my Government Pension?” What about my legal rights – “can I still obtain credit when I retire?” If I have to go into residential care, will I have to sell my property to pay the fees?” These are some of the questions that have been answered on the “PLANNING FOR CHANGE” courses that we currently run. The course covers all these topics and much more For further help and support, please contact us on 0115 922 3824 (mobile 07790 851 584) or email linda-phil@nottinghampre-retireme.fsnet.co.uk A fee will be charged to cover room hire, lunches and admin.costs.

Celebrating 5 years in business with the creation of 80 new jobs A local company based in Nottingham, who specialise in at-home care for older people, has announced plans to expand its team by creating 80 more jobs in 2015, due to unprecedented demand for their services in the local area. The latest figures from Age UK report that there are now more pensioners than under 16’s living in the UK. With statistics like these, it’s no wonder that a business specialising in providing a tailor made service to older people, is in such high demand Primo Sule of Home Instead Senior Care in Nottingham said, “Social care is going through a significant period of change and growth. This is leading to a broader range of improved job opportunities in the sector.” Primo continued, “I feel we have become a well-established business in the area after being based here for 5 years now. I’m extremely proud of our reputation in the local community, which has allowed us to support and provide care to over 400 clients and employ over 70 people. “Although our CAREGivers come from a hugely varied background, the one thing they have in common is that they all have a real passion for helping others and caring for people in our local community.
36
We have just recently celebrated some of our CAREGivers who have been part of our team between 1 and 4 years- each member of our team is valued here, and we are a dedicated team of professionals. “At Home Instead, we provide all the necessary training so professional experience is not essential. Whether you are 19 or 99, if you are a caring and compassionate person and would like to find out more, then we want to hear from you!” If you would like more information, please call Home Instead Nottingham on: 0115 9226116 or visit: http://www.homeinstead.co.uk/ nottingham.

Book Review by Clare Lyons Amity and Sorrow by Peggy Riley This is a very strange book, but at the same time extremely compelling. In the aftermath of a fire in their religious cult, a mother takes her two adolescent girls and uses the ensuing chaos as a cover for them to leave. The story is then a mixture of exploring their new situation and the painful changes for all three women experience in their new reality, and snapshots of the life they have left behind. Elements of the story become very disturbing, and the effects of the cult are carefully and thoughtfully described however the ending is not clear cut, and therefore quite unsatisfying. The book is well written and certainly unusual, but it’s not a happy or easy subject matter to read and the story leaves an odd taste in the mouth. This is Riley’s first novel and is very accomplished, she is also known for her short stories, some of which have been dramatized on BBC Radio. I’m glad I’ve read it, but have since donated it to the library! Children’s Choice Dr Duck by Steven Smallman and Hannah George Our new favourite book by a long way – it has pants and farting in it, so that’s no great surprise. The book is a funny and kind tale of a Dr Duck, who is sent to the zoo to help out some very poorly animals. The cleverly written rhyming story is a joy to read and the illustrations are hilarious, the animals are all better by the end even the smelly Gorilla. Smallman has written other books around the smelling theme, all of which are great fun. He’s also written Dragon Stew about some Vikings which is also well worth a look. www.letyourselfgrow.org 38

Take the right step out of the car and onto the pavement!
Walk to School Week 18-22 May 2015 Walk to School Week - Walking makes our children healthier and happier! It's been proven that keeping active in this way reduces the chances of becoming obese, developing heart conditions and other diseases. Not to mention it keeps the planet happier too! There are cars everywhere you look polluting the air and increasing carbon emissions so by cutting down out fuel use the world says greener too.Right now only half of 7-10 year olds do the recommended hour of exercise a day so its up to parents, siblings and teachers to encourage more activity!The campaign in 2014 was a great success with lots of parents making the decision to leave the cars at home and walk children to school instead. In fact, over one million children in over 4000 schools participated in the event The purpose of the campaign, which has been observed since 1995 is to motivate children to look at road safety awareness so they feel more confident about walking around safely on their own when they're older. But all this will be taught through games and activities that you can help set up! If you want to get involved, go to the official Walk to School Week website.

May is National Share-A-Story Month; an annual celebration of the power ofstorytelling and story sharing. Sharing stories with your child: Strengthens your relationship - Reading together lets you slow down and creates some quiet time in a busy day. Enjoying a book together brings you closer. Boosts academic achievements - Many scientific studies have shown that children exposed to reading early in life are more likely to do well in all areas of education. Improves basic speech skills - While you’re reading The Gruffalo for the gazillionth time, your child is reinforcing the basic sounds that form language. Helps with learning to read - Children aren’t born knowing that text is read from left to right, or that the words on a page are separate from the images. Essential pre-reading skills like these are among the major benefits of reading with your child. Improves mastery of language - Toddlers who shared books with their parents and siblings, develop a better grasp of the fundamentals of language as they approach school age. Enhances concentration and discipline - Toddlers may initially squirm and become distracted during story time, but gradually they learn to listen. They develop self-discipline, longer attention span, and better memory retention, which are all valuable skills in school.Teaches kids that reading is fun! Reading with children helps them see books as an indulgence, not a chore. Children exposed to reading are more likely to choose books over video games, television, and other forms of entertainment as they grow older. By Sarah Davey To advertise call 0115

From food rations to music The Great war remembered The next round of funding for Nottinghamshire County Council’s Community Commemoration Fund will open on Friday, May 1st, 2015. Towns and villages across the county can claim up to £300 to help them commemorate the Great War in their local area. Historical societies, parish councils, schools, uniformed groups such as cadets, scouts and guides, youth clubs, church groups and art societies have until Friday, July 10 to get their applications in. All applications must be supported by the group’s county councillor. The fund helps to support local groups bring the history of the 1914 – 18 War to life and help people understand how it impacted on their community. The fund, launched last June, has already supported groups from across the county including:260 Sqn Air Cadets in Newark – for educational visits Eton Avenue allotment society in Hawtonville – for a memorial garden dedicated to local men and women who lost their lives in the Great War Acacia Radio Association in Kirkby in Ashfield – an all-day broadcast devoted to the Great War which includes a music of the day section and a phone-in of family memories passed down through the years Cotgrave and District Royal British Legion – for a 1914 – 18 history website Other events that have already taken place include a multi-media presentation telling the story of the Great War through song and poetry, a photographic
44
exhibition, trips to the Imperial War Museum and the Cenotaph, an evening of letter readings from the frontline and schools working closely with local history societies to look at the effect of the War on local people. Flight Lieutenant Martin Derbyshire, Commanding Officer of 1260 Squadron Newark & District Air Cadets, said the funding would help towards taking 30 air cadets on a visit to RAF Cosford Museum. He said: “This is the largest RAF Museum in the country and it has designed a magnificent display dedicated to The Great War and the role played by the RAF.” Community Engagement Officer Neil Bettison added: “We are receiving a wide range of applications from every corner of Nottinghamshire which confirms that communities do not want to forget the sacrifices and bravery of the 13,000 Nottinghamshire men and women who lost their lives in the Great War. “One of the main aims of the fund is that activities will bring communities together and highlight the social and economic change of the times.” Groups can apply for funding by downloading an application form from www. nottinghamshire.gov.uk/trenttotrenches or by contacting the Community Voluntary Sector team on 0115 977 2041. This round of applications will cover events and activities taking place between 1 August 2015 and 31 January 2016.

Count Down to Las Vegas! Nottingham’s own barbershop chorus are reaching for the stars Lace City Chorus are jetting to Las Vegas in October to compete in the Female Barbershop World Championships. The Nottingham based chorus will perform at the MGM Grand Arena on the same stage that has been graced by musical legends including Barbara Steisand, Cher and more recently, Justin Bieber. The 100 voice chorus are currently UK and Netherlands Champions and will represent the UK when they compete on stage in the Sweet Adelines’ World Championships. The chorus was born 22 year ago at Arnold Hill School and was originally set up for pupils, parents and teachers by science teacher, Glenn Chaney, who remains its ever enthusiastic director. Lace City has since become a leading chorus in Europe, having won the UK and Netherlands’ Sweet Adelines’ International title five times. The ladies have performed in the USA, Canada, Amsterdam and at the London Palladium. Emily Dunn, a new member of Lace City said: “The overwhelming feeling you get when everyone sings together is addictive. I love being part of such an amazingly talented and lovely group of ladies. Who’d of thought we had world champions right here in Nottingham.” “I first watched the ladies at a rehearsal in Nottingham and immediately knew I wanted to be a part of it” said Rebecca Long, Lace City Bass. “Barbershop isn’t all about boaters and striped waistcoats; it’s a fabulous harmonious wall of that will knock you off your feet.” You can watch a preview of the Las Vegas show and enjoy the Lace City experience at Nottingham’s Albert Hall at the “Summer Spectacular show” on Saturday 20 June at 7.30pm. Tickets £12 (under 14’s £8) - www.lacecity.net or 07824 554 136. Comments on their previous shows include “Sparkly choreography” (Nottingham Post), “Wow, I was blown away by the sound”, “Wonderful harmony from everyone concerned”. This show will follow an appearance at the Royal Concert Hall on 9 May at 8pm in Sweet Adelines’ Show of Champions. Notes
