Harvest Festival

We ended our 'Autumn Week' with a Harvest Festival.  We said a big thank you to Father God for providing us with all we need.  We also wanted to remember those people in Derby who don't always have enough to eat.  We collected food for Derby City Mission's 'Food Bank'.

Enjoying Autumn

The whole school had lots of fun, working in mixed age 'Family Groups' to take part in various Autumn crafts:

Working as a team to make Scarecrows.

Leaf rubbing.

Leaf printing.

Autumn mosaics, made by ripping up coloured paper into small pieces.

Bread Making With Warburtons

The whole school had a fantastic time when two lovely ladies from Warburtons came in and made bread with the children.

 First we had to get our aprons and hats on then listen carefully to the instructions.

Next we knead and stretch the dough.

The children work in Family Groups.  The older children enjoy supporting and helping the younger members of the school.

Now to start shaping.

Some of our results.

A Letter From The Queen

In June the children wrote letters to Queen Elizabeth II to say congratulations on her Diamond Jubilee.  Today a letter arrived from Buckingham Palace addressed to 'All the Children at Emmanuel School':
