Local MP goes back to the classroom
Therese Coffey MP found herself back in the
classroom for the morning with the children of
Hollesley Primary School. First stop was to
admire the excellent work on display in the
corridor, then to a maths lesson with Mr Field’s
class, where children were learning about Venn
diagrams. Dr Coffey commented: Venn
diagrams are often used to show how the
Coalition government is working. Dr Coffey
was particularly impressed that children had
Dr. Coffey with children from
visited the O2 and that they would be
performing at the Wolsey Theatre and
Hollesley Primary School
Aldeburgh Festival. In the Foundation class she
sat down with children tussling with money sums and explored the outside play area. In
Mrs Edwards’ class she saw topic work about the local area.
She ended the morning surrounded by the whole school where the discussion ranged
from favourite characters in the book Stig of the Dump to her work as an MP. The
School Council then threw questions at her such as: What is your favourite sport? Of
course, football, she said, having grown up in Liverpool. As to the famous people she’d
met since becoming an MP last May she said she’d been to dinner at Number 10 with
the Prime Minister and had met MPs from other countries.

Greetings from Boyton Mission
August is traditionally Seaside Month to enjoy time well spent with your children or
grandchildren on a seashore that is well-loved by all. With
ice-creams, sandcastles, boating, sunbathing, picnics and
just enjoying quality time with family and friends.
Jesus was often found at or on the Sea of Galilee with his
family and friends; teaching, healing and feeding the
people who came to Him. He restored Peter and also spoke
powerfully at the seaside.
What a comfort it is for us during sad, lonely or difficult
times, to know that Jesus still comforts, heals and restores
us today, at the seaside if we give Him our time.
Praise my soul the King of Heaven who ransoms, heals,
restores and forgives.
Our Preachers for August are: 7th Paul Kemp
(Stowmarket), 14th Phillip Hunt (Woodbridge), 21st Mr
Ovidill Timpeseu (Romania), 28th Steve Dart (Hollesley).

Every Blessing to you all. Steve and Lynda Dart
