    Compton Pre School

    The children from pre-school took their gifts to Compton church as part of a week of Harvest Celebrations.  John led us in a short service of prayer and thoughts of caring and sharing.  He then received the gifts which were taken to St Joseph's night shelter in Chichester.

    Other activities during the week included printing with windfall apples, investigating different types of grain, harvesting runner beans (a tad too old to eat but wonderful for measuring and for close examination), seeking out wild autumnal berries, fungi, flowers and fruits. 

    On one wonderfully bright morning we went combine hunting; we found them in a barn at the farm and had a picnic snack before returning to base through the woods.
