TWO LOCAL charities, Home-Start Butser and Liphook Day Centre, were supported as children at Churcher’s College Junior School donated food offerings at their annual harvest festival.
At the service, children participated in unwrapping prepared food ’presents’ and were presented with some popular food choices, such as popcorn and chocolate, and unpopular food choices, such as mushrooms and butternut squash.
The children were reminded to be grateful for all food, not just their favourites. Interspersed within the service was music by the boys’ and girls’ choir, the school’s ballistic brass group and the infants sang a harvest song.
Headteacher Ffion Robinson commented on how generous the children had been with their harvest gifts and how they had carefully thought about the needs of others this harvest.
