Harvest Festival 2012

Once again, Mrs Gill and Miss Dempsey were kept very busy with the large quantities of food brought in for our Harvest Festival.  Their display was set up on Wednesday afternoon, ready for our harvest celebrations on Thursday morning.

Each class had prepared prayers, songs and poems and performed them to a packed hall of friends and family.



Hymns were sung by both children and audience before Revd Andy Wolton closed the celebration.
Children were lead back to classes and the organised band of parent volunteers began parceling up the food goodies.  In total more than 90 packages were made.  The children, along with adult helpers, delivered the parcels to the older members of the community.

Since the deliveries, we have received many letters and cards of thanks, many of them particularly grateful for the mini Mars bars hidden in the centre of the parcel.
