    Pupils visit Liverpool mosqueBARNSTON Primary School has taken part in a special visit to Liverpool’s largest mosque, to

    learn about Islam and its place in British culture.

    Children from the school visited the Al Rahma Mosque in Toxteth along with the Mayor of

    Wirral, Cllr Les Rowlands, to meet representatives of the place of worship and gain first-hand

    experience of Islam.

    The visit was arranged by Wirral Council’s Minority Ethnic Achievement Service (MEAS),

    which aims to celebrate inclusivity and promote cultural awareness in schools and the wider

    community.

    As part of the trip, the Mayor was presented with a silver mug with his name engraved on it.

    The Mayor of Wirral, Cllr Les Rowlands said: “It is important, now more than ever, that

    people understand different faiths and the role they play in our communities, and also see

    for themselves this beautiful building and what it means to those who use it.

    “It was the first time I have visited a mosque, and we received a wonderful and gracious

    welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would like to thank our hosts.”During the visit, the children watched a ‘Wudu’ demonstration, the Islamic act of preparing

    parts of the body before formal prayers are said, and learned about the Arabic language

    and examples of famous

    Muslim scientists and

    physicians.

    They also observed prayer

    time in the mosque’s

    main hall, and heard

    a presentation by the

    mosque’s Education OfficerCatherine Odita about Islam

    and the significance of

    the different areas of the

    building.

    Tuyet Ramzy, Ethnic

    Minority Consultant for

    MEAS said: “Multicultural

    trips and events make a

    big difference to our school

    children. It is imperativethat our teachers are

    aware of stereotyping,

    discrimination, racism,

    ethnicity, multiculturalism

    and culture diversity, and

    that this awareness is

    reflected in the curriculum.

    It is vital to promote

    inclusion, multiculturalism

    and diversity in ourschools.”

    LEGAL MATTERS 

    For further information please call Jackie Campion on

    0151 342 9021 for a no obligation quote.

    A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) gives

    another individual the legal authority to

    look after specic aspects of your nancial

    aairs or health and welfare should you

    lose the capacity to do so. It’s not just for

    the elderly; younger people may becomeincapacitated through accident or illness.

    If you do not have an LPA in place and later becomementally incapacitated, relatives may face long

    delays and expense in applying to the Court ofProtection.

    There are two types of LPA: one that can coverdecisions about money matters, known as aproperty and nancial aairs LPA, and one that

    can cover decisions about healthcare, known asa personal welfare LPA. A key dierence is that a

    property and nancial aairs LPA can be used while

    someone still has capacity, whereas a personalwelfare LPA can only be used once they have lost

    mental capacity.

    A person administering a property and nancialaairs LPA can make decisions on matters such asdealing with your bills, running your bank accountsand investing your money. If they have a personalwelfare LPA, they can generally make decisions

    about where you should live and how you should betreated medically.

    At Campion solicitors we will give you clear advice

    and details of a xed fee.

     WHAT IS IT?

    The Bowen Technique is a remedial, hands-on therapythat is applied using very gentle pressure.

    The practitioner uses thumbs and ngers on precisepoints of the body to perform Bowen’s unique sets ofrolling-type moves which stimulate the muscles andsoft tissue of the body.

    There is no manipulation or adjustment of hardtissue and no force is used. The experience of a treat-ment is gentle, subtle and relaxing.

    It is believed that the Bowen Technique promptsthe body to reset, repair and balance itself and clientsreport the experience of pain relief, improvement of

    function and recovery of energy.

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    One of the least understood areas of the body is the

     brain.

    There are something like 600,000 signals that travelfrom the brain into the body every second and these inturn come back to the brain with information which isthen interpreted and sent back out.

    In the case of the Bowen move, the brain is unableto do this instantly and needs more informationto form a response. As it is, just when the brain isasking for more info, the therapist has left the room,and therefore the brain has to send specic signals tothe area in order to gauge a response. If the client islying down, the immediate response is nearly always

    rapid and deep relaxation. The client will also oftenreport that they feel a tingling sensation or warmthin the area just worked. “It felt like your hands werestill on me,” is a common comment. We believe thisdemonstrates that because the move is out of theordinary, the brain is looking for information about what happened.

    HOW LITTLE IS DONE!

    One of the more dicult elements to come to terms with is how little is done during a session. In addi-tion, the client may well walk out of the treatmentroom having felt little or no improvement over andabove a sense of relaxation. However, the reactionsto Bowen in the days following a treatment can often belie its soft and gentle approach. Stiness, soreness,headache and feeling like “I’ve been run over by a bus!” are common. All excellent signs, they demon-strate that the brain and body have started the processof repair.

    This process, when started, is generally rapid andit is not uncommon for even longstanding pain to be reduced or resolved in two or three treatments.Most sports or work-related problems can often bedealt with within the two or three treatments, makingBowen not only good remedial treatment, but costeective for the client as well.

    MIGRAINES

     Although musculoskeletal problems such as frozenshoulder, back and neck pain account for the majority

    of conditions brought for Bowen treatment, it canalso be helpful with more organic problems. Clientshave reported signicant improvements with asthma,migraines, irritable bowel, infertility and other repro-ductive problems. Even hayfever has been brought toBowen.

    There are no such things in this life as guaranteesand this can be said of Bowen as well. If the bodyresponds to the treatment, then it can and will startthe process of repair. If it doesn’t respond, then noharm is done.

    PLEASE NOTE:The Bowen Technique is not a substitute for medical treatment.This information is not intended to replace guidance from your doctoror other suitably qualied medical professional who should be contactedfor advice if you have any health concerns.l Editorial courtesy of ECBS (European College of Bowen Studies)

    Twitchers’ delight at wader festival

    THE first ever Wirral Wader Festival took place on the Dee Estuary in November.

    The idea was to celebrate the vast numbers of wading birds that spend the winter on the

    peninsula’s shores.In partnership with the Dee Estuary Voluntary Wardens, Wader Quest, the RSPB, Cheshire

    Wildlife Trust and Shore Cottage Studio, a full weekend of events took place at Wirral

    Country Park, Thurstaston and the Dee Estuary.

    Wader Quest’s Rick Simpson said: “There are annual celebrations of wading birds in the

    shape of a festival across the world on various continents. We noticed a distinct lack of a

    wader festival in the UK so decided that something should be done to address this.

    “We are firm believers that conservation starts at home, and although we didn’t know the

    Wirral very well, after learning about the remarkable efforts of the Dee Estuary Voluntary

    Wardens (DEVW) to protect the thousands of birds roosting on West Kirby and Hoylake

    beaches at high tide, we were inspired to look further.”

    NORWEGIAN WOOD

    By LARS MYTTING

    Who knew that a book

    about chopping and

    stacking fire wood would

    be so popular? With

    the insurgence of wood

    burners this is definitely

    the book you need to

    get the perfectly stackedlog pile. I haven’t got

    a wood burner but the

    book is beautiful and full

    of humour, which is an

    odd thing to say about

    a book that is basically

    about chopping and

    stacking wood. Lovely

    pictures of perfect wood

    piles and the Scandi-style that everyone

    seems to love.

    WALK THIS WORLD ATCHRISTMAS TIME

    by DEBBIE POWELL

    A wonderful book that will

    enhance children, it has lots of

    illustrations and flaps and so much

    to wonder and talk about it will be

    a book to keep forever. Christmas

    is celebrated in diverse ways in this

    country…does anyone else have

    fried chicken and sweet corn forChristmas lunch like we do?

    No I thought not! I have lived

    in various countries over the

    years and each once had their

    own unique way of celebrating

    the Christmas, all with their

    own different traditions. Walk

    the World At Christmas, shows

    illustrates all the strangeness but

    also the similarities that we share

    with our world family.

    BOOKSwith LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, HESWALL

    By Kerry Keight

    The leaves have fallen off the trees and though it is unusually mild, there is one word I have to say to youCHRISTMAS! We get really excited this time of year because of all the lovely special new books and once again

    it is VERY hard to choose which to review.

    But after much deliberation and book sniffing (admit it you do too) I have chosen just three gorgeous books, so

    come on by and see the rest.

    We have one special event and that is our annual visit from Father Christmas.

    This year it is on Saturday 19th December at 11am put it in your diary!

     ALICE’S ADVENTURES

    IN WONDERLAND - A

    COLOURING BOOK

    The love of colouring

    books still continues and

    though I haven’t caught

    the bug, I have bought this

    because it is very special.It contains the original

    illustrations of Sir John

    Tenniel and wonderful

    retelling of the story

    which is a nice touch as

    most of the new colouring

    books don’t have stories

    in them. I think there will

    be a fight who gets to

    the colouring pencils on

    Christmas Day. Try andkeep within the lines!
