WESTBURY Leigh Church of England Primary School students have been celebrating harvest recently as well as learning how it feels to belong within a community.
A spokesperson for the school says, “We had a visit from the Westbury Area Network who explained the important work of the Community Fridge in promoting food sharing and the food bank which provides parcels of food and other essentials for people who are in need. Our harvest donations will support the work of the food bank. Rev’d Caroline and our school Ethos council led the harvest festival worship.”
Miss Becky Pearce, worship lead explains, “The Ethos council uphold and encourage our Christian ethos and values in our school life. They play a key part in worship and aspire to ensure that our school is a respectful and nurturing place to be.
“In order to help us all to appreciate all we have at this time of year they prepared and delivered readings as part of our harvest service encouraging us to remember that just as the farmer at harvest time, we sow what we reap. Kindness, integrity and love given is returned and rewarded. They have also arranged a colouring competition across the school to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be mindful of this special time of year.”
