Celebrating Harvest
A Virtual Harvest in Year 3
This week we are celebrating Harvest with the help of St. Nicholas’ Church in Halewood, Liverpool. We watched their video clips and explored six stations; all relating to harvest. We thought about the significance of each one. We have written some of our thoughts below. Here is the link for you to watch at your leisure.

There are also links to bible stories which tie in with the idea behind each station. Feel free to watch and enjoy them too.
