Gemma Thornton, Creative Learn ing Manager at Grimm & Co, said: “This is our penultimate residency, and it has been filled with inspira tion, creativity and wonder. Year Four pupils at Greengate Lane have contributed their own individual spark and personality to this creative journey and I have loved working with them and their class teacher. From three course meals designed for The Iron Man (at the McIron Restaurant), to the creation of their own original characters, as well as empathetic choreographed per formances to show the main char acter's feelings - these pupils have flourished, and their confidence and pride has skyrocketed.”
“Today is just the beginning - as we continue to work with Grimm & Co and others to provide broad oppor tunities, we will build the knowledge and develop the creative skills of our children in the years to come.”
Hackwood, CEO of Astrea Academy Trust, said: “This innovative programme will hugely benefit our pupils at Green gate Lane Academy. These memo rable experiences are those which are usually only afforded by inde pendent schools. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to roll the programme out to our pupils at Greengate Lane and to our other primary schools in South Yorkshire.

If you see quads in fields at night in South Yorkshire over the next few weeks, and its not your local farmer, then give us a call. Now the crops are being cleared unfortunately it prompts our resident and travelling poachers to come out to kill what ever they can. Not many people will be in farm fields at 2am on quads with Ourdogs.ask is for you is to let us know…its most probably wildlife crime in progress, and will get a prompt turn out from ourselves to check it out. If you run a storage yard, or live or work near one, and have farm quads coming and going from the containers and suspect they are taking part in late night poaching, please do let us know. If they pass through your village and you think they are up to no good , make a note of the time and if you have CCTV then send it though. The destruction they cause to the farmers fields, hedgerows and fences, and untold effect on our wildlife is not to be tolerated in our county. SY Police Thank you We would like to say a big massive heart felt thankyou to the children and lady who came to my uncles rescue on thursday afternoon.

Poachers in fields Its Harvest time...so poachers come out to play.
Year 4 pupils have participated in a ground-breaking writing pro gramme called ‘Chapter & Verse’, devised, and led by literacy charity Grimm & Co, which offers a rare chance for pupils to develop their confidence, wellbeing and creative writing skills through drama, music, poetry, and storytelling. Grimm & Co, based in Rotherham, took pupils on a fantastical adven ture throughout the day, bringing the magic of the ‘Bridge Between’ – a theatre space initially conjured up in 1148 by Graham Grimm - which is used as a bridge between our world and the world of the story being studied in literacy lessons. Grimm & Co built the travelling theatre inside the Sheffield school, styled in the theme of The Iron Man, where pu pils took part in their creative writ ing workshops and lessons. ‘Chapter & Verse’ was brought to Astrea schools across South York shire from January 2021, through a collaboration between Astrea Acad emy Trust and Grimm & Co. Astrea and Grimm worked together to suc cessfully secure a £150,000 grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Teacher Development Fund, beating off stiff competition from a number of other bids from across the UK, to develop the two-year programme. The aim is to embed creative cour age in the classroom and in doing so, instilling a love of writing amongst pupils. The project is completely free to schools and families and has been offered across eight Astrea primary schools over the last two years. The programme has seen Year 4 teachers at Greengate Lane Acad emy, and teachers at another seven Astrea schools in South Yorkshire across the last two academic years, ners to embed an innovative creative writing strategy in their schools for years to come – unleashing the imag inations of their children, sparking their motivation and confidence to find their untapped creativity. A parent of a Year 4 pupils at Green gate Lane Academy said: "It has been really amazing to see the increased confidence in my child. She has been so engaged throughout the project, even doing extra writing at Yearhome."4pupils at Greengate Lane Academy said: "Working with Grimm & Co has been great!”

Golcar visited the Parker Roof ing Memorial Ground for the first Thetime.last time these teams met was in the Yorkshire Trophy Semi-Fi nal. Church won that away match 3-0 in October 2020. The Church pitch was hard fol lowing several weeks without rain, but the grass looked great and played well. Church opened quickly and had the first shot on target within the first Golcarminute.hada good 10 minute spell with the ball, but lacked accuracy in the last third of the pitch. They drew a great save from Chris Snaith low down at the near post from 8 Churchyards.responded with their own spell of passing and started to open up the Golcar midfield. A massive Church clearance created havoc in the Golcar defence. Reece High was through and a collision with the defender ended with a red card for Golcar defend er Leon Henry. The foul was on the edge of the Golcar box. Nathan Keightley drew a great fingertip save from the keeper low to his left. The shot ricocheted off the post and away to Churchsafety.then stuttered a bit and could not break down the 10 men of Golcar. In fact it was Golcar who missed a sitter from 6 yards out. Church then drew a spectac ular save from the keeper with the last touch of the half.

Stocksbridge Park Steels won their first game of the season with a big victory over Dunston
After a goalless first half, Stocksbridge took the lead through a smart finish from Luke rawson. Dun ston equalised a minute later through a header from richard Coulson. Dunston would shortly take the lead through a similar header from Michael fowler. The Steels equalised themselves when Gareth Curtis got onto the end of a good ball and finished well. Curtis would get his second after catching out the goalkeep er with an impressive curl ing shot. Dunston got off to the bet ter start and could have eas ily had the lead and not just the first goal of the game but the first goal of the Northern Premier League season. The corner was whipped in and Jon Shaw was unmarked to head goalwards. The former Sheffield Wednesday striker was foiled by Harrison Da vison-Hale who was able to punch it Davison-Haleaway. had to be on form later on as well to keep the game goalless. Jack El liott, a constant bother on the left wing, put in a very dangerous cross that the young goalkeeper had to batter away. Liam Thear also had a shot from distance but it went right at the keeper. Stocksbridge struggled to get out of their own half for this half and when they did, they were often let down by their final both. Both Jack Tinker and Tomas Poole got the ball in dangerous posi tions on the ball only for their crosses to end up with the picnic tables behind the goal. With Dunston also fail to break through, it’d be goalless at half time. Stocksbridge got to the best possible start in the second half. The Steels got an early corner, Poole whipped it in and Elliot Murray headed it into the path of Luke Raw son who slammed it home to give Stocksbridge the lead. Dunston were right back into it though. Liam Thear got the ball on the right wing, whipped in the cross and it went over DavisonHale’s outstretched arm, al lowing Coulson to head in at the far post. The goals didn’t stop com ing and soon Dunston had the lead. In much the same way of the first goal, Michael Pearson whipped in a cross from the right handside and this time it was Fowler on the end it to give the North East side the lead. But this mad few minutes weren’t over yet. Rawson controlled the ball well be fore slipping through Cur tis who was able to latch onto the ball. He broke into the box and lifted it over the goalkeeper to level the Dunstongame. looked to continue the madness that had took over the game. Elliot con tinued to be a danger but when he broke through, he slammed the ball into the side netting. There was also a goal mouth scramble where seemingly everyone had a kick at the ball but Davison-Hale claimed it on the Stocksbridgeground. would then take the lead. The ball was hit long and James Ander son looked to go and clear it. He was indecisive though and Curtis was able to nip in and get the ball. Anderson backtracked but Curtis had already curled the ball over his head and into the back of the Dunstonnet. would throw ev erything at Stocksbridge in order to equalise. Sado Dja lo came on and the North East side would send in plenty of teasing balls which begged to be tapped in but Stocksbridge were just about able to survive them. Kurtis Turner almost put it into his own net when he headed over from a Dunston corner. But Stocksbridge were able to hold on to get a massive opening day win.
