We were all sad not to be able to celebrate Harvest in the usual way this year but in Eagles class we still marked the occasion with reflection, gratitude and lots of fun!
As part of our celebrations this year, all the classes researched how Harvest is celebrated around the world and by different cultures and religions. In Eagles we chose to research the Hindu festival of colour known as Holi. The children learnt lots about the origins of the festival and the modern day celebrations that take place in different Hindu communities across the world including throwing paint at each other which sounded a lot of fun!

As part of our Christian Celebrations in Class, Year 6 did an investigation into how far our food travels before it gets to us and what this means in terms of environmental impact.
The children used pizza as an example and costed their favourite choice of pizza in airmiles. The results were both surprising and shocking!

After all that hard work it was time to celebrate with our own version of 'harvest breakfast' which we all enjoyed! We gave thanks for this year's harvest and looked forward to next year when we will hopefully all be able to celebrate together again! Well done Y6!
