On Friday afternoon we welcomed parents and relatives into the school to share in our Harvest festival. This is often the first time in the academic year when we are able to share what we have been learning with the wider community, and this year's Harvest festival did not disappoint!

 

Our Harvest always takes the form of a 'song sandwich', where we share a number of songs and intersperse these with presentations from each class. 

 

Our youngest children shared what they had learnt about what harvest is, before sharing a rhyme and a song with some enthusiastic actions! Teal Class followed with their self-penned adaptation of 'football's coming home' - where they had rewritten the words to fit harvest.... 'Harvest's coming home!' Cobalt Class shared a thoughtful presentation looking at words that can be spelt using the letters of the word 'harvest' and what these can mean at harvest time. Navy class rounded off the collective worship with some information about the Rutland Foodbank and some prayers. Singing as ever was lusty and enthusiastic - we still love to sing!

 

Thank you to all the parents and family members who were able to come and join with us for this celebration, and to all those who have contributed to the Rutland Food Bank. We know that all the contributions will be much appreciated by those in need.
