Harvest Experience 2024

This year, our Year 4 children visited Witney Methodist Church to 'Experience Harvest'.

The visit enabled us to explore traditions of harvest from around the world, the importance of it and the history associated.

The traditions explored included: harvest of the oceans, grain, flocks, gardens and the ground. Finally, they focused on the Jewish festival of Sukkot and Thanksgiving.

The children shared their experiences from the activities. They then thought of lots of different foods and drinks based on colours - this proved quite tricky! We ended the session with a discussion on how thankful they are for all of the food and drink they have at Harvest time.

Pupil voice: 

"I enjoyed learning how the grain is made into flour, we tasted some bread too." Freddie

"We thought of so many different foods, we had orange and yellow. We thought of 22 different ones." Ruby
