THIS week, students at Hubberston School have been celebrating Harvest and looking at what it means in the local community.

'Special reporters' Nicole Wisby and Ayishah-Rose Smith explain what that has involved.

Each class have been preparing by learning poems and songs which were performed at our Harvest festival.

We have also collected lots of produce from our very generous parents which will be donated to Patch, a local charity.

At the Harvest festival the children from Hubberston School performed a variety of exciting routines.

Classes 1 and 2 started by singing Big Red Combine Harvester, which sounded outstanding.

They finished by singing a 'vegetable version' of Old McDonald, which looked amazing and sounded magnificent.

Class 3 did an unbeatable song called In My Trolley. It was an excellent choice, and everyone has had it stuck in their head since the performance.

We also loved their poem called Harvest festival which, was delightful and cheerful, which is important.

Now we will take you to Class 4: they sang The Harvest Samba. It has got a jolly good beat to it. Do you know this song?

Their poem was Harvest Time, which sounded amazingly awesome.

On to Class 5, who did a snazzy poem about what to put in your wrap. They followed this with a catchy song called Five A Day, which was cool.

Now hold on to your hats because Class 6 blew them off with their performance of The Harvest Poem and a great song, The Harvest Habenara. All of us had such thrilling fun doing this we all wish we could do it again.

After the event a representative from Patch arrived at school. They collected all the food that had been donated and were extremely grateful. When he was here we interviewed him.

He explained that he really enjoyed his job, that the donations they collected went to those who really needed them and that up to 25 people a day visit them for help.

He also explained the financial crisis had made things much harder for people.

At Hubberston School we are just happy that we can do something to help!

We hope you enjoyed reading our article.
