Making a difference at Harvest, by Alderley Edge Community Primary School
Date: 23rd Nov 2021 @ 11:12am
As part of their work in school, all the children have been learning about food production and reflecting on how fortunate they are when some families locally struggle to provide enough food for themselves to eat.
Mrs Walsh, Headteacher, said “Social intelligence is an important part of a child’s education at Alderley Edge Community Primary School and harvest is an opportunity for the children to reflect on the world around them and develop their understanding of social justice at an age appropriate level. The children celebrated harvest by performing poems or songs to different year groups during our virtual assembly and by making generous contributions to the local food bank in Alderley Edge. We would encourage all members of our community to continue to support this worthy cause this winter.”
