Voices rang out loud and clear in the school hall as we celebrated our Harvest Festival with Harvest songs of thanksgiving. 

 

This year our theme was giving thanks. Each class provided a short presentation, and Harvest songs, both traditional and modern, were sung.

 

Aqua Class showcased their learning in PSHE, RE and music by sharing the story of the Little Red Hen, who worked hard to grow wheat to make bread. Her lazy friends soon discover that hard work has its rewards when they discover she won't share her bread with them as they didn't share in the hard work it took to make it!

 

Teal Class entertained us with another pop song with Harvest words. This year the music came from Queen - 'I want to grow beans' will ring in our ears whenever we hear 'I want to break free' on the radio!

 

Cobalt Class shared with us words that could be made from the letters of the word HARVEST and what these mean to us at this time of year. 

 

The Faith Council then talked about the important work of the Rutland Foodbank and thanked all of those who had made donations for this local charity. 

 

Having sung 'Autumn Days', 'Amani Utupe', 'Harvest Samba', 'Bringing in the Sheaves' and 'Gather up the People, for we are His Harvest', we finished with a rousing rendition of 'Thank your lucky stars'.
