NORTH EAST DONCASTER

CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU

Advice Column

I want to convert my loft but the last time I paid someone to do work

on my house it ended in a dispute with the builder and I felt I’d been

ripped off. How can I make sure that doesn’t happen again?

Home improvements gone wrong leave many people feeling ‘once bitten, twice shy’ but there are

some simple things you can do to sieve out the experts from the cowboys – and get the job done to your satisfaction, and on budget.

Before you start, outline exactly what work you want doing and what that includes. For example, if

you are having a new kitchen put in, are you moving where the sink or washing machine would be?

Do your research to find the best people for the job. Check the Local Authority Assured Trader

Scheme Network at www.oft.gov.uk/laatsn or use TrustMark www.trustmark.org.uk to find a

registered builder, or you can check online for websites with a feedback option to rate tradesmen.

Once your checks have provided a list of reputable tradesmen, get references and three written,

itemised quotes from different builders. Make sure your quotes are comparable, whether VAT is

included and whether it is clear who is buying what materials - you or the builder.

It’s important that you talk through with your builder about what happens if something goes wrong

and who pays – for example if there are delays in completing the job or you come across a

complication.

Get everything you’ve agreed down on paper. Your contract with your builder should be in place to

protect you and the trader. It is a legally binding document. Read through the contract and make

sure that you obtain a written quotation and all terms agreed in writing.

ANIMAL CARE FOR THE FUTURE

Microchip

Implants

£12.98*

Over 900 pets a day go missing in the UK and

many are never reunited with their owners

because they cannot be identified! Microchipping

can change this. Whilst collars and tags can get

lost or be easily removed once inserted a chip

permanently identifies cats, dogs, rabbits, birds

and most small animals.

How does it work?

In a straight forward procedure similar to an

injection, the microchip is inserted under the

skin using a sterile implanter. Once in place

every chip has a unique code which is registered

to the owners details and linked to the national

24 hour Pet Log database. Any stray animal

taken to local authorities, welfare organisations

and vets are routinely scanned for a microchip

that will enable them to obtain the owners

details and reunite them with their missing pet.

What are the benefits?

Every month Evolution staff talk to countless distraught owners who have lost their pets and

scan numerous unchipped animals that have

strayed away from home with little prospect of

ever being identified. However, we have

reunited numerous microchipped animals with

their owners some of whom have been missing

for years and travelled as far afield as Durham.

How much does it cost?

You can expect to pay up to £30 for the

procedure, but Evolution are giving pet owners

the opportunity to have their pet microchipped

for just £12.98 * until the end of June 2012.

What do you have to do?

To take advantage of this offer please ring

01405 812142 and arrange an appointment for a

chip to be implanted. Microchipping is a great

way to identify your pet but remember you can

only be reunited if the details such as telephone

number and address are correctly recorded.

The national Pet Log database on 0870 606

6751 should be informed of any changes.

MICROCHIPPED?

PETS ARE LOST WITHOUT IT!

Hatfield Woodhouse Amateur Gardening Society

(HWAGS)

May's meeting of the Society was on the very first day of the month, the first Tuesday of

the month coinciding with May Day. At the meeting we were pleased to welcome Anita

Chisnell, an expert gardener who works in a garden centre. Anita's subject was

'Preparation for Autumn Planting of Containers and Hanging Baskets'. Although it seems

early in the year to be thinking of baskets and containers that will be made up in

September or early October, Anita said that now is a good time to be thinking of the

plants to be used. This is because plants grow very little in winter, so they need to be

well established before planting in a winter basket or container. Small hardy plants can be

brought on during the summer so that they are well established by the Autumn. Anita

also told us to look into our own gardens to see what could be used from there. This is a

good way of saving money on plants. The compost used is also important. It must be free

draining so that it does not get waterlogged in winter. Anita then told us about the types

of plants which are best for this type of Autumn planting. There followed a Question and

Answer session on other aspects of gardening, especially pests. The Society enjoyed a

very informative talk from Anita.

The next meeting, on Tuesday June 5, is a visit to the garden of Jasmine House, at The

Grove, Wheatley Hills. This garden is featured in the NGS Open Gardens for Charity

Scheme (The Yellow Book) and is open to the public on Sunday afternoon June 3.



Welcome back to the summer term! Here are some activities our school has experienced…

Dance festival

Recently, Ash Hill Academy has held their annual dance festival. Representatives from our school

have taken part trying their best to make our school proud.

Jasmine Wood and Molly Marsh used their acrobatic talent to perform an elegant dance to the tear

jerking song by Adele, ‘Someone like you’. Days of practice paid off since Jasmine and Molly gave an

outstanding dance routine. Amelia-a Year 6 pupil- observed the dress rehearsal and quoted,” It’s was

great to see my class mates enjoying themselves in acrobatic extravaganza!”

South Africa learning in Year 1

Lately Year 1 has been learning about South

Africa with Mrs. Marshbank and Aunty Jean

about what it is like to live there. They have

been learning what the different cultures, food,

and houses are like in Africa. Mrs Marshbank

has shown the pupils what life is like in Africa

through a power point on the computer in

Year1. She even brought in some delicious

African food! They have been taught what South

Africa is like to live in and what its like to live in

a very different environment. The children have also made their own African cloth using tie

dying techniques.

Learning outside of the classrooms

There have been two different school trips so

far this term. Year 3 went to the Yorkshire

Water Treatment Center at Ewden near

Sheffield and learnt how water is treated and

cleaned before it comes to our homes. Year 5

went on a trip to the Hatfield Moors, starting

Boston Park and walking all the way back to

school. The pupils went to find out all about the

History, and the plants and rare animals in the

locality. Ellie Powell said, “It was great! We

went on a 10-mile walk! That’s 16 km!” and the

year three students loved their trip too, “It was

amazing!” some of them said.

Year 6 Sats

Recently, Year 6 have been doing their Sats. The

results from these vital tests will be sent to the

Secondary school that they have been given a

place in, to show what they have learned and

the progress they have achieved. There have

been 2 maths papers, a mental maths paper, 2

literacy papers, a reading paper, a spelling test

and 2 science papers. The results come out

soon for the parents and pupils to see.

Good luck with the results Year 6!

Childcare Funding

Are you aware that almost everyone is entitled to Child Tax Credit and

Working Tax Credit.

These are dependant on the circumstances of each claim but your income

details and childcare costs will be the major deciding factors on any award

given.

In some cases it will be possible for Tax Credits to pay for the majority of

childcare costs.

For one child you can claim up to £130 per week and for two up to £300 per

week. You can phone the Inland Revenue at any time to check on 0845 300

3941.

You can also make further savings by paying for childcare through vouchers.

Whether you are employed or

self-employed childcare vouchers

could help save you money. Since

2005 companies have had the ability

to pay up to £50 per week to

employees, tax and National

Insurance free, via Childcare

Vouchers for the provision of

nursery care (this is classed as a

salary sacrifice).

For a higher rate taxpayer receiving

the maximum amount annually, this

could save them over £1,000 in tax

and National Insurance and the

employer could save over £200.

For more information on these

please contact Small World Day

nursery on 01302 844485.

ANIMATION ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Doncaster’s Hidden Architecture

Students from Ash Hill Academy are taking part

in the project focusing on the often forgotten

aspects of some of the buildings of historical and

architectural significance in Doncaster town

centre. The original identity of these buildings is

not often seen at street level by the passer-by,

who is then not aware of the links between the

modern town and its historic origins.

Our students, and students from other schools in

Doncaster, are involved in a variety of

workshops which involve research, model-

making and cast-making.

A short film will be produced through the use of

digital media by the students which will

graphically re-instate some of the original

street level frontages. The intention is to

stream this film through social media

networks and present the project as part of

Heritage Open Days 2012 (6-9 September).

The project is being managed by Trina

Skjoldan Nielsen from Tinkertales and the

animation aspect of the film will be

delivered by Wak Studios, Doncaster.

An ideal candidate !!

It is almost 25 years since I failed in my audition as a joiner and returned to education. In the time

since passed my friends have grown fond of using the term “eternal student” as a way of teasing me.

Naturally I bite, protesting that I have actually worked from the age of 11 - and when I was 13 I had

two jobs!

My first was a weekend paper round for Colin Baxter in Hatfield Woodhouse, which involved

delivering 40+ newspapers for a grand total of 50p per day. It was a heavy old bag. I would recycle

20p of my earnings on a bag of sweets but I was hardly going to take on Alan Sugar.

Job No. 2 was at the local riding stables as a ring steward – or by its Sunday name Technical Equine

Sports Officer. Basically, we put the fences up that had been knocked down over an arduous

10-hour shift which raked in the princely sum of £5 per day. Pictured are my fellow team members,

who worked tirelessly to keep the world of

Woodhouse horse jumping in good order whilst

eyeing up all the posh talent of the horsing

fraternity. We may have been desperately

underpaid for the hours we worked, we often got

soaked and covered in all kinds of muck, but we

had laughs. And never has a packed lunch of

corned beef sarnies tasted as good as they did on

those summer weekends. And so my relationship with work continued to flourish through various

stages of my life. Even as a hedonistic student I

would always work a couple of nights a week in

order to subsidise my nights out with the football

club lads. However, recently I made a decision that saw me branded “bloody stupid”. Some said it

was “unbelievable” while others admitted they would love to do it themselves… I resigned. Not

only that, I resigned without another job to go to. I won’t delve into the reasons behind my decision

but all I knew was that for the first time since I was an innocent 12-year-old I was jobless.

With a couple of months’ worth of savings to keep me afloat I set about the arduous task of finding

a new job, which is no mean feat given today’s economic climate. But it was my decision, I needed to

renew my focus, protect my self esteem and pay my way. So I set out an agenda, tidied up my CV,

registered with various agencies dealing with my line of work and scoured the local papers for any

suitable vacancies. Nothing happened for a few weeks apart from the odd tumbleweed rolling across

my road but then, just like waiting for a bus, three interviews came along at once. I failed to strike

the right chord with my prospective employers. On one occasion an agency called me after I had

given what I thought was a marvellous performance to deliver the sad news that, although I had

interviewed well, I had come third out of all the applicants but that I should not be too down-

hearted. It was at this point that I had to politely remind them that there had in fact only been 2

applicants for the role in the first place! I was beginning to get a little concerned at this point but I

persevered and eventually I was selected to interview for a role in York that appeared to tick all the

right boxes. I viewed the job description carefully and it appeared that I could do this role with one

hand tied behind my back while playing ‘She’ll be coming round the mountain’ on banjo. The

interview should be a walk in the park, shouldn’t it? I polished my shoes, straightened my tie and set

off to York on a cold and wet April afternoon. I was met by a regal looking venue, reported to

reception, signed the visitor book and sat quietly confident that this role was in the bag and that I’d

be quaffing a few beers in celebration at my local ale house within the hour. I think it was around

this time I began to notice a pretty pungent aroma wafting through my nostrils. It was pretty

offensive and every now and then I would catch a smell of something awful… a smell I had never

encountered before. I checked the person next to me, they hadn’t died, and there wasn’t any road

kill to be seen. I shrugged it off as I was escorted to a smaller room to be greeted by the two


interviewers who would put me through my paces.

It was game on. One tricky question followed another as I began to perspire a bit. Yep, I was a little

hot under the collar and realised that I may have underestimated my challenge. I was floundering

badly, like a mastermind contestant failing on his specialist subject, but I didn’t have the option to say

‘pass’. I imagine it was painful viewing. To make matters worse, it appeared that my interview room

had a subtle blend of rotten eggs, vomit, sewage, and nightclub toilets. I continued to waffle in a vain

attempt to claw back my credibility with the stench of failure adding to the smell of decomposing

flesh that had engulfed the room. I even noticed that one of my interviewers was muffling a yawn as I

struggled to maintain my composure. It was evident that I had neglected to do my homework and,

after what seemed like an eternity, my ordeal drew to a close with two handshakes. There was as

much chance of me getting a date with an Ingram Arms barmaid than there was of me getting this

job. I’d had my chips! I departed unable to shake off my disappointment or the horrendous aroma of

the place and aimed to soften my blow by thinking that it would be no great loss not having to work

in such a foul smelling environment. I neglected to hand in my identification badge in a final show of

defiance before exiting left like a failed X Factor audition. I gathered pace, eager to put my ordeal

behind me, but noticed that my shoelace had come undone. I bent down to sort out my shoes when

it hit me like a Mike Tyson left hook to the chin. The sole of my left shoe had been soiled with the

stinkiest cat poo you can imagine, clinging to the grooves of my soul like an infant to its mother. It

wasn’t a yawn I’d drawn from the interviewer, it was a gasp for breath and a cry for help from my

poo’ey pollution. What was I to do? Should I return and explain my predicament or depart and consider that maybe the big chief had ensured that fate would dictate that this role was not meant

to be? I decided to take the latter path and put the whole experience behind me. I also washed my

shoes with bleach, both of them, just to make sure.

Two weeks went by with no news before my agency rep contacted me to explain that I had indeed

been unsuccessful at interview and that he had some rather delicate feedback to deliver to me.

Trying to be tactful and professional, he explained

that although I was an experienced practitioner, I

should not take anything for granted, prepare

properly and ensure that I was well presented and

smelling fresh for interview. I gave a wry smile and

promised myself that before any future interview I

would tread a little more carefully - literally!

You’ll be pleased to know I now have a new role

and have treated myself to a new pair of shoes as

a reward. I have even become a step dad to a new

cat!

Travis Go Global! Welcome back, we hope you had a good Easter. We will be bringing you a new update of Travis

school; how Year 3’s organised an earth hour, Year 4/5 took part in a Tudor day and Year 6’s visited

Crucial crew.

As Year 6, this is our busy time as we are starting our SAT’s next week.

Year 6- Crucial Crew Welcome back to our article about when Year 6 went to crucial crew in

Rotherham. Can we just give a big thank you to the Friends Of Travis (PTA) for paying for the trip

including the coach. We will be telling you a brief description of crucial crew.

Crucial crew is an educational place based on how to stay safe in life and be prepared for it. The

first activities we did was on a bus where we learnt about how to respect public transport,

particularly looking at where the emergency exits were and how you should give up your seats to

people who are in need. Then we did a role play of being the judges of court. After that we looked

at the prison cell that you would stay in if you were brought into prison, IT WAS NOT PRETTY!!!

The setting had places that were copied from real parts of our community. There was a pretend

town made out of fake bricks and cars. At Crucial Crew, there were lots of scenarios where we

made decisions and then found out the consequences. The first thing 6E did was ‘burn a bin’,

however the consequences weren’t what we expected. We found out that two girls had taken a

picture and put it on facebook- aswell as this the fumes from the fire had hurt a family near by. As

mentioned this was all staged but we learnt that burning things near houses could cause dangerous

chemicals being released and the fire could become out of control.

In conclusion the day was very useful and fun for all of us. It gave us all lots to think about and it will

help us in the future.

Year 4 and 5- Tudor Day. Day of the banquet. Hello, hope you had a nice Easter. Hope the

weather wasn’t too wet before the Easter holidays. We had a Tudor day, on the Friday before we

finished for Easter, because we were learning about Tudors. When we got to school we were put

into groups. Here are some of the groups: Dancing, Jesters, Invitation writing, Cooks and Party

planers! (A lot!). Before lunch we practised and prepared what we where going to do.

After lunch we practised and prepared a bit more then got everything ready and went into the hall.

First of all we had the food, and then we watched the dancers. After that we looked at the

invitations, with the party plans. Finally we watched the Jesters! We had a good day and this was all for King Hayes! (he is really one of our teachers).

Callum and Emily

The day King Hayes arrived. Year 4/5 have been learning about Tudors and had a special day

dedicated to them. We had lots of activities including eating some Tudor soup and sharing some

bread. Some people did Tudor dancing which looked very old-fashioned. Jesters were invited to join

in with the day and we all thought they were very funny. They would have fitted into Tudor times.

Other people made Tudor letters, which were given, from King Hayes. King Hayes was actually our

teacher Mr Hayes dressed up as the Tudor king. Year 4/5 did lots of things on our amazing Tudor

day and learnt a huge amount. We all enjoyed our Tudor day and look forward to the next one.

Mattie and Olivia

The Tudor Banquet. On Friday just before we broke up we had a Tudor day. There was 5

groups of people all doing different activities like baking, dancing and others. In baking, we did a

special meal from Tudor times. We did bread and vegetable soup which went down a treat. Miss

Hilton taught dancing and they did very well. The jesters did very well at performing their act. Mrs

Wilcox did very well at teaching them also. Of course the hall needed to be furnished with tables,

chairs, mats and benches. Mr Hayes helped us put the furniture in the hall. Mrs Langford had a group

of people writing very neat invitations. They had to write with handwriting pens. When it was the

end of the banquet we had realised it was the end of the school term Yippee! Ethan and Maisy

Year 3 Earth Hour Year 3 have been learning about saving the planet and how we can help the

environment and help the planet for your children in the future. We wrote a letter about how much

electricity we are using around the school and at home. The message was to “Please turn off

electricity at home whenever you can”. We asked all the school to turn off their electricity for one

hour, except for the office who needed their telephones and computers on. The fire alarms stayed

on as well. During the hour we walked around and investigated how the school felt without

electricity and whether people remembered to turn it off.

All the school took part and some lessons had to be changed because they relied upon electricity. I

thought that it would have been a lot darker but I enjoyed it

Abigail and Mitchel.

In year 3 we have been learning about how we could save electricity and our environment then we

had an idea we thought we could have an earth hour. So we wrote to Mrs Gibson and if you are

wondering Mrs Gibson is our head teacher. Earth hour is a time where you turn the electricity off

for one hour. Having an earth hour will make a better future. In my class I think I could turn off the

computer, lights, projector, interactive whiteboard, laptop and heater. On Thursday we had the

earth hour and it went quite well, but we didn’t get distracted because we were doing PE.

We enjoyed the earth hour despite it being boring because we could not use electricity.

Olivia and Jack

As you can see Travis school has been a ‘hive’ of activity. We are looking forward to our Sports

Science Week and especially our Science Fair and Open Gardens during the weekend of 30th June (12:00-3:00pm). We hope you can come and visit our school and look at all our hard work and

activities.




Doncaster Advanced Motorists

Dear readers,

Joining a motorway.

Look well ahead and plan your approach early. Use your off-side wing mirror to help match your

speed to that of the traffic in the left-hand lane of the motorway when you join from a slip road.

Select the lane that allows you to merge most smoothly. Usually the right hand lane on the slip road

as you will be able to see traffic on the motorway earlier and the traffic on the motorway will be

able to see you on the slip road earlier.

Where necessary give a right indicator signal. Do it in time to allow for a reaction from other

drivers on the main carriageway who may pull over into the adjacent lane, giving you the chance to

merge smoothly. Plan your acceleration on the slip road, so that you don’t have to brake or

accelerate further to join to traffic flow.

Constantly use your mirrors to check the main carriageway and other traffic around you and never

commit to changing carrageways without considering a brief glance over your right shoulder.

Difficult approaches.

When the motorway slip road rises up to join the main carriageway, your vision and anticipation

maybe limited so you have less time to judge the traffic flow before merging. To minimise this

problem, avoid racing other vehicles up the slip road and stay back from the vehicle in front.

Always use the two-second rule when following another vehicle.

On short slip roads you may have to be very decisive. That may mean you need to accelerate very firmly to achieve a safe merging speed in time.

Some slip roads have cross-hatchings to separate the lanes of traffic. Those with solid white

surrounds can only be entered in an emergency.

Leaving the motorway.

Motorway junction signposts are usually positioned one mile and half mile in advance. Use them to

plan your speed and to select a suitable lane position early.

Junction countdown signs appear 300, 200 and 100 yards before each exit.

Judge your exit speed carefully especially after driving for long periods at high speeds. Lift your vision

up to look further ahead and never be caught out by a short or sharply curving exit slip road. Use

your mirrors as you leave the motorway, especially if you plan to take the right-hand lane on a multi

-lane exit slip road.

On a busy carriageway, it’s always worth taking a quick glance over your right shoulder to check for

any drivers trying to cut across from the faster lanes of the motorway to exit in one hazardous

manoeuvre. This tactic is likely to be carried out at a dangerously high speed.

To be continued next month.

Thank you to all our readers who have taken the Free Public Assessment Drive. If you would like to

take part please contact me below.
