Harvest festival was on the 6th of October and our school did a collection of food and other household items. Harvest festival is to give thanks for the harvest and the food it brings from all the crops. We are very lucky to have farmers who take time and care into our crops.
Did you know…
Fun fact: Harvest Festival is usually celebrated on Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon, also sometimes called the September moon. This is the moon closed to the Autumn equinox, usually towards the end of September or the beginning of November. The autumn equinox is the two moments in the year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length – this marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Pretty cool – eh!
It’s still not too late to contribute to our school collection. It would be helpful to brings things such as:
Long life milk
Canned food
Toiletries
Cleaning products
Tinned fruit
Rice
These are products that have a long use by date that mean they can be stored until they are needed. All the donations will be sent to the Wetherby Food Bank who will then make up food parcels for families and those in need.
Thank you for your donations and help for this wonderful charity.
