KS2 Harvest Festival
The key stage 2 Harvest Festival was a great success. It was a lovely opportunity to share the children’s hard work with their families and with each other. Every class had spent time considering what harvest is and why we celebrate. We heard a great selection of work, from harvest raps to mystery vegetables! It was lovely to be joined by so many parents, carers and grandparents.
