Harvest

Here at Christ Church, we like to introduce the children to a wide range of experiences. These cover the unusual, such as the Karate instructors who visited to introduce the school to the discipline of their sport, to useful, such as the PCSO who came to talk about personal safety. This week we were more traditional and held a special service, in church, to celebrate Harvest.
 
The children were invited to show many of the school values, especially those of generosity, compassion, sharing, responsibility and respect, by donating food to the Ware food bank.
 
During the service we celebrated the Harvest, we looked at the difference between our wants and our needs and we thanked God for his provision to us and love for us.
 
John Hookway, our vicar, tested our gardening knowledge by challenging us to identify a variety of seeds, Reception sang Dingle dangle scarecrow and the older children read the readings and prayers.
 
Afterwards we had several emails thanking us for the service and one grandparent comment that is was wonderful to see that children still follow the important traditions and he was pleased to be able to share this with us by attending the service.
