Years 5 And 6 Celebrate Harvest Festival Service

Each year, the school hall is filled with music, songs, prayers and readings that give thanks for the harvest, share the traditions of the festival, and the importance of community, kindness and supporting those in need.

On Thursday 15 October, it was the turn of Years 5 and 6 to share their Harvest celebration with parents. The children took us on a journey around the world, exploring different Harvest traditions while delivering thoughtful reflections, poems and prayers. Year 5 and Year 6 sang beautifully, both individually and together, while the Choir delighted the audience with a wonderful performance of Harvest Tango.

Year 5 led the prayers of intercession with great thoughtfulness, before Mr Aston delivered his Harvest Address. Assisted by our Year 6 ‘combine harvesters’ and ‘trailers’, he reminded us that within the word Harvest we can find the words Have, Heart, Share and Starve - a powerful message about thankfulness, compassion and helping others.

The service concluded with families, pupils and staff joining together in a rousing rendition of Sing Of The Lord's Goodness, bringing a fitting end to a meaningful celebration.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our Harvest Festival. We look forward to delivering the generous donations collected to Rugby Foodbank during the half-term break.
