Great for harvest festival performances! A one-week literacy unit based on creating and performing harvest poetry about a fieldmouse trying to keep safe when the farmer is harvesting the fields. At the end of the week pupils will have prepared a performance of their harvest poem. The five lessons in this unit give children the opportunity to read and listen to a classic harvest poem and to consider how the sounds and language patterns come alive when it is read aloud, in particular its use of verbs and commands. Children will have the opportunity to engage imaginatively with the poem and to create their own version of a harvest poem to perform aloud. The aims of the unit for pupils are: • To listen to a classic harvest poem being read aloud • To identify verbs • To use command sentences • To prepare a poetry performance including actions • To perform a poem to an audience The final performances would also be perfect for a harvest assembly or harvest festival.

This resource contains a PowerPoint lesson and poem templates for creating an acrostic poem for the Harvest Festival. The PowerPoint explains what an acrostic poem is with examples. It also includes a link to a fun harvest song to give pupils some ideas for their poems. Pupils can create their own poems and/or make a class poem that could be used in a Harvest Festival assembly.

Child-led Harvest Festival (Script, PowerPoint + Booklet) Suitable for Primary School This Harvest festival service/ assembly is great if you want the children to have speaking parts, if not, check out this adult-led service here.

The Script is 990 words long and will create a service of approximately 30-40 minutes long. The script has been written with the intent of the service being led by 8 narrators along with other speaking parts. However the script can be totally adapted to add or take away parts. The script also includes involvement from children through singing songs and displaying art work. However, these sections can be taken out if you wish. There are five parts to the service: Part 1 - Welcome Part 2 - Our Chosen Charity Part 3 - Being Thankful Part 4 - The Farmer and the Seeds (parable) Part 5 - Closing Thanks As well as four songs for children to sing, which can all be accessed off YouTube.

Harvest Assembly and supporting powerpoint. This assembly is complete but can be mixed or edited according to time limitations or pupil numbers/abilities. There are sufficient parts for 2 classes of KS2 pupils or pupils reading and taking acting/ speaking roles. The Assembly begins with a short introduction and information about harvest traditions and moves onto crops and grains harvested with a harvest Alphabet. The powerpoint has images which support the pupil text if you wish to use it. There are suggestions for well known songs and hymns at key points in the assembly. There is a prayer of thanks in the form of a poem which leads onto thanks to the parents/carers for their harvest donations. A short play depicts the theme of sharing with those who need it and moves onto supporting our planet and the climate issues it faces. (a summary of props is included on the playscript). The assembly ends with a ‘Happy Harvest’ where pupils can show their paintings or pictures as they read out short captions. My class made bread and we inserted pictures of the baking process (including the sticky hands and floury faces!) into the powerpoint. Also, the small recorder group played a short song and we took their photos and inserted them into the powerpoint. The children’s scripts were numbered so they sat in order of speaking (and moved if they had more than one part) and their script cards (their words) were mounted on Autumn pictures or collages made by the children and held up for the audience to see after speaking. I hope you enjoy this assembly and have fun with your children.

This is a plan for an assembly on Harvest, with a focus on the theme of thankfulness. There is a PowerPoint on what harvest is and how it is celebrated in Britain included. The plan is easy to follow and requires no resources, so is perfect for using at the last minute! I like leading assemblies that are interactive, engaging and relevant to the children’s lives. So this assembly involves an anecdote to make it more relevant to the children. You can use the example in the plan or use an anecdote from your own day. This is then linked to the theme of harvest. There is a lot of opportunity for the children to think about their own experiences and to feedback. There is also an example prayer/reflection to finish with. The resources are in the zip file. These are: 5 page PDF Assembly Plan 20 Slide animated PowerPoint Presentation (This is not editable. Click the ‘Read Only’ button to open.

This is for English Literature students studying under AQA. In this resource you will find my A Level notes for the text Harvest by Jim Crace. For my English Literature A Level I studied this and achieved an A* so you will find that my notes can help you in your studies too. This includes a list of key quotes (which you should learn for your exam) with analysis for each quote. In addition, after the quote analysis list there is a table at the end filled with additional knowledge to help you with AO3 Context, AO4 Literary Connections and AO5 Critical views. Unfortunately, the AO table cannot be seen in this preview. Nonetheless, I strongly recommend you purchase this resource as it will focus your topic fluency onto those assessment objectives and, with hard work and learning, will give you the food for thought to help you reach the A*s in your English Literature A Level. This resource consists of 12 pages and 5558 words. Filled to benefit your textual knowledge for the exam.

This PDF File and presentation will be very useful to KS1 as an assembly idea or as a class story linked to fables as there is a moral in the story. The two characters in the story are a spider and a little bug, the setting is in a cornfield. The bug warns the spider that the farmer will be coming soon to gather the crop. I won't tell you the rest as I don't want to spoil it for you! The story is adapted from one I read and I have rewritten it myself in child friendly vocabulary. There are a set of discussion questions which will be good for talking and listening sessions after the children have either read or heard the story.

This rap has good rhythm and rhyme. Some of it is entirely my own. Some of it came from working with the children. The odd line is from elsewhere - you’ll recognise bits I am sure. Sept 2019: revised and improved - with references to apples for this year [malus domestica]. Both original and new versions available here. My class wore caps and bling and tried out the ‘attitude’ to give a very confident and entertaining performance at Harvest. Many others have enjoyed using it since I first posted it. Please enjoy using it, adapting it, or extracting some of the ideas for your own performances. And please don’t pass it off as your own though. Have fun - and leave feedback!
