Harvest: Order of Service

Welcome by Mrs Hester.

Whole School Sing:

Autumn Days

Autumn days when the grass is jewelled,

And the silk inside a chestnut shell,

Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled,

All these things I love so well .

Chorus: -

So I mustn’t forget

No I mustn’t forget

To say a great big thank you

I mustn’t forget

Clouds that look like familiar faces,

And a winter’s moon with frosted rings,

Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces,

And the song the milkman sings.

Chorus: -

Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered

And a swallow curving in the sky.

Shoes so comfy though they’re worn-out

and there’re battered,

And the taste of apple pie.

Chorus: -

Scent of gardens when the rain’s been falling

And a minnow darting down a stream,

Picked-up engine that’s been stuttering and

stalling, And a win for my home team!

Chorus:-

Lower School Sing:

Cauliflowers fluffy (X2 children from each class R-Yr6 to present food gift)

Cauliflowers fluffy and cabbages green,

Strawberries sweeter than any I’ve seen,

Beetroot purple and onions white:

All grow steadily day and night.

The apples are ripe, the plums are red,

Broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed.

Blackberries juicy and rhubarb sour,

Marrows fattening hour by hour,

Gooseberries hairy and lettuces fat,

Radishes round and runner beans flat.

Chorus

Orangey carrots and turnips cream,

Reddening tomatoes that used to be green,

Brown potatoes in little heaps

Down in the darkness where the celery sleeps.

Chorus

Year 6 to speak about Harrow Food Bank

Upper School Sing: Beautiful World

From the crocodiles and the kangaroos

To the birds and bumble bees

From the elephants and polar bears

To the spider and the flea.

It’s amazing the wonder of creation

And we all just want to say…

Chorus:-

Thank you for the morning light,

Thank you for the moonlit night,

Thank you for the sunshine and the rain.

Thank you for the joy you bring,

Thank you God for everything,

It’s a beautiful world you made.

From the snow upon the mountaintops

To the fruit upon the trees,

From the jungle to the desert sand

To the fish beneath the sea.

It’s amazing, the wonder of creation

And we’ve all a part to play.

Chorus

It’s amazing, the wonder of creation

And we’ve all a part to play.

Last Chorus

Thank you for the morning light,

Thank you for the moonlit night,

Thank you for the sunshine and the rain.

Thank you for the hope you bring,

Thank you God for everything,

It’s a beautiful world,

A beautiful world,

It’s a beautiful world you made.

We’re here to give our thanks
For the good things that we have,
