The school had even devised their own harvest songs, and the afternoon entertainment was introduced by headteachers, Miss Spencer and Mrs Parr. All the children had brought gifts of food which are to be delivered to the elderly, sick and housebound in the parish.
The afternoon programme began with the Foundation stage telling their story of the Hungry Caterpillar with actions, and showed some of the work they had been doing. Years 1 and 2 told about a boy in Africa whose family had been given seeds to grow their own food. They were able to sell their tomatoes to make extra money to buy more food. Years 3 and 4 told the audience, and then re-enacted the story, of the Feeding of the 5,000. Years 4 and 6 talked about fair trade. They spoke about the work they had done and what fair trade is.
At the end of the presentations the parish priest Fr Andrew Smith shared a short prayer and gave a blessing. bus and arrangements for Christmas functions, and also to receive any updates concerning Eastfield Library.
