HARVEST FESTIVAL 2008

Mr Hinitt from the Heswall Rotary Club came to tell us the winner of our balloon race held at sports day in the summer. He also told us about how the money from our race had helped children in our area. He reassured us about the balloons used in the race and how they are specially fast biodegradable balloons.

Let's hope we can sell lots of balloons at next year's sports day!

To thee O Lord

Last week we celebrated our Harvest Festival. Our theme this year was FOOD! Our Harvest Poster was therefore made by the children using all things edible such as lentils, rice, cous-cous, spaghetti etc.

As always we supported the Charles Thompson Mission with our gifts of fresh and tinned food and we also held a raffle for the charity FOODAID.

The children presented to the parents a slide show during the Harvest Festival explaining the work of our charity - Foodaid, and how our money can help many people across the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even in our own country there are many people who cannot afford enough food. We learned from Pastor Jeffs that the Charles Thompson Mission provides 25,000 free meals a year in Birkenhead. The food donated by our parents each year for the harvest festival is all put to good use in doing this.

 

Our latest band, "Cheetahs or Cheaters?", sang and played "To thee O Lord", an old harvest hymn put to a cool, new beat! Have a listen to the band's first performance.
