Karen & co. Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I have just been to the Harvest Festival service at the school my younger two go to (can we have a happy crying emoticon?) It was lovely, and rather different, they based it on a news room interview sessions, with mock farmers, local traders, talked about farmers markets and organic producers, and then explained about Fair Trade, and ........chickens Christopher was 'interviewed' as a chicken keeper and mentioned the eglu as a "high tech chicken house", he also talked about our girls and also about the process of rescuing battery hens, and how battery eggs sneak into lots of products! I had no idea what they had planned, as he wanted it to be a surprise Year 6 had arranged it all amongst themselves with guidance only from their teacher, and it was wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 That's wonderful ! Well done to Christopher ! I hope the other children listened and took in about the battery eggs ending up in other foods and will tell their parents. Educate them young and it sticks!
