Our Harvest Festival October 2018 

Class 2 have been working really hard sorting all of the items brought in for the Harvest Festival. We have been busy making and organising hampers, delivering them in the village and have had a visit in school from the Padley Centre in Derby! The volunteers were taken aback by the amount of food and the generosity of the village. They asked us to pass on a huge thank you on behalf of the charity. 

Our Harvest Festival consisted of Flower songs from Class 1, Egyptian Harvest facts from Class 2 and a George Ezra cover and WW1 facts from Class 3. Reverend Phil Horner closed our service with thoughts and prayers at this special time. 

Thank you for attending and donating so kindly.
