A Colourful Harvest Festival

The Pre-Prep entertained parents with a colourful Harvest Festival assembly.   

Nursery and Reception children displayed artwork which they had created in class as part of their topic on Autumn and Harvest, including some very imaginative pictures in the style of the artist, Guiseppe Arcimboldo, clay leaves and Harvest wreaths.

Year 1 performed a rousing rendition of ‘The Cauliflower Song’ which they had learnt in their Music lessons, and enlivened the performance further with  pictures of fruits and vegetables that they had sourced on the internet in their ICT lessons.

Year 2 read a special Harvest poem to which all the children had contributed ideas in their Literacy lessons.   All of the Pre–Prep children joined together to sing “Thank You Lord for Harvest time” after which two Year 2 pupils read a prayer.   

Mrs Dawson gave a short presentation on The Vipingo Village Fund, a charity which has set up a Montessori School in the village of Vipingo, in Kenya.   The Vipingo Village is the Pre-Prep’s charity of the year and pupils are greatly enjoying exchanging postcards and letters with Vipingo children through the charity’s penpal scheme.  If you would like your child to take part in the penpal scheme, please see Mrs Dawson for a form or access the details directly from the charity’s website, www.vipingovillagefund.org.
