Harvest festival
Children throughout the school have learnt about Harvest Festival and brought in produce to be distributed to local families by the Eastbourne Food Bank through the Rotary Club of Eastbourne Sovereign .
The children from Chaffinch and Kingfisher classes overcame any bouts of fright when they took to the stage for the very first time to perform Nursery Harvest Songs in front of their expectant parents, family and friends. Under the guidance of Miss Eldridge, the three and four year olds sang about Crunchy Carrots and Squashy Bananas and followed the actions to Dingle Dangle Scarecrow and The Farmer’s in his Den.
Children from Pre-Prep and the Prep School were joined by many members of their families and friends at our Harvest Festival services in the Chapel. The chapel was beautifully decorated by parents and staff with sheaves of wheat, pumpkins, sacks of oats and barley and the food produce contributed by school families. We were delighted to welcome to the Prep School service, Revd Giles Carpenter, new vicar of St John’s Church in Meads and Revd Vic Lawrence, also from St John’s, who kindly spoke at the Pre-Prep Service.
