Harvest Hope

Harvest is a time of year that we celebrate. We give thanks to the farmers at this time of year for all their hard work. We always think about the people that haven’t got much food, in the UK and other countries.

For this year’s Harvest Assembly, titled ‘Harvest Hope’, we practised and learnt lots of songs. We decorated boxes with harvest pictures and colours and put our donations of food inside them. We rehearsed the Assembly together as a whole school to prepare us to perform in front of visitors.

Near the beginning of the Assembly some year 5s and 6s performed a traditional dance to music. Miss Brown’s year 2 class sang a brilliant ‘Vegetable Rap’ and looked pretty cool. L3, B3/4 and SK4 all read out their Harvest themed poems they were brilliant and spoke loudly so everyone could hear.

Throughout the assembly Year 5s were acting out a script that tied all of our songs together.

The choir sang beautifully throughout the Assembly and all of the audience thought their voices were spectacular! ‘Can You Hear Me?’ was a particular favourite and was really poignant.

The Assembly was brought to a close by year 6 representatives by reading out a prayer which echoed the words of ‘Can You Hear Me?’

One of the visitors stood at the end of the assembly to say thank you for their invitation and that they thought the assembly was really good. They also thanked the school for all their donations of food to help them through the winter.

We all loved and enjoyed the assembly and can’t wait for another one!
