Mummytwo Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm glad so many people remember this. Does anybody know if the schools are still doing it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlady Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yes i do remember Harvest festivals:clap:. There was always a big baked piece bread in the centre and we all had to go to the 'old peoples home' and sing harvest songs. In the days when I got free milk lol! way before the milk snatcher:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been rather embarassing for them, still food is food. My children aren't in school yet but I hope they do this when they are. I used to enjoy the songs like 'autumn days when the grass is growing and the something or other'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
