Harvest Festival On the 10th October we had a Harvest Festival here at Wadworth Primary School. Harvest is a very important event here and we love to celebrate this time with songs, poems, and much more. We also help the charities M25 and Wateraid. By donating we can help children and adults all over the world who are not as fortunate as us. KS1 HARVEST FESTIVAL

KS2 HARVEST FESTIVAL
To celebrate our Harvest we started by walking to Wadworth church and meeting the vicar, Reverend Alan Price. The KS1 harvest started at 9:30am and finished at 10:00am. Our head teacher Mrs May started the festival with a welcome and introduced the M25 project and Reverend Alan Price. KS1 started their ceremony with the song ‘Cauliflowers fluff y’ which was a favourite among all of the children. First up was reception singing their song ‘Oats and barley.’ Year 1 was up next performing their poem ‘Farmer, Farmer’. Before the oldest class of KS1 did their part, the pupils sang ‘The farmer gathers his hay today.’ Last but not least was Year 2 reading their poem ‘A time for thanks.’ KS1 finished their event with a very unique prayer with Mrs Price, the vicar’s wife. Reception teacher Miss Hodgekiss said ‘ I loved 36 36

KS2 also held a ceremony at 10:45 and finished at 11:15, on the same day as KS2 and they were introduced by Reverend Alan Price and the Head teacher, Mrs Julia May. They kicked off their harvest festival, by singing a song called ‘Conkers’. Year 4 were the first class to perform there poem ‘water.’ Next up were year 3 singing their song, ‘Ice-cream’, which brought a smile to the audiences faces. Then year 4 played ‘old MacDonald’ on their recorders. After that year 5 read a poem called ‘thanking God for the ‘Harvest.’ Then all of the pupils performed ‘when the corn is planted.’ Finally, the oldest pupils of the school, year 6, performed their poem harvest and it was a big hit with their clever routine. After all of that excitement, all of the pupils sang ‘Cauliflowers fluff y.’ This wonderful ceremony was finished with a lord’s prayer by Mrs Price. Learning support assistant, Mrs Deakin said ‘my favourite parts of the harvest were the lord’s prayer and watching all of the children singing in harmony.’ All of the parents left the church with a smile on their faces and we are sure all of the pupils are already looking forward to the next Harvest Festival.
