Dear Parents and Carers,
Harvest Festival and Coffee Afterwards
This year, we are inviting Key Stage 1 and EYFS parents to attend the Harvest Festival on Thursday 24th October, and Key Stage 2 parents to attend on Friday 25th October. All classes will perform at both events, meaning if you have siblings in KS1 and KS2, you can attend one event and will still see both children participate. We warmly invite you to attend, and to join in with some familiar Harvest songs! As usual, we ask that if you can, bring a donation for our Harvest Open Door collection – see leaflet attached with suggested ideas.
We look forward to seeing you there, and hope you will join us for tea, coffee and cake afterwards, served by Year 5 and 6 Chaplains. If you would like to contribute to this, any monies collected will go to CAFOD.
Harvest Mass – Sunday 20th October 2024
We are holding our annual Harvest Family Mass this Sunday at St George’s Church at 9.15am. We are asking that members of the choir are present to add their lovely voices to the occasion. A reminder that readers will need to be available on the day and arrive at Church early, at 9.00am, so we can prepare. If your child would like to join in with the offertory, please ensure you bring a tin along as a gift. These will be presented at the altar and Mrs Twort, the Choir Leader, will deliver them to the Open Door afterwards.
We hope you can join us!
