"It's another Harvest Festival..."

We had a really great collection of food for our Harvest Festival today.

Chris Davis came in and reminded us about where our food comes from and how hard it's been for farmers this year because of the floods and foot and mouth disease. You can learn more about how food gets to our tables at the Food and Farming website - and you can take a quiz!



He asked us to collect lots of food in tins and packets and jars - and as you can see, we did! These foods keep for a long time and so they can be given to people in Southampton who really need help. Chris takes it all back to SCRATCH and makes sure it all goes where it's needed.



This year, we also had some great vegetables from Mrs Larder's allotment - we never knew she had such green fingers - and we'd also like to say thanks to the bakers at Tesco in Chineham who made the beautiful wheatsheaf for us. It made our display look really fantastic!
