Grade 4 Harvest Dinner

By: Suzanne Hill

Grade 4 Teacher


Last Spring in grade three, the current grade four class, along with their teacher Ms. Kaur, cultivated, planted, and tended the vegetable garden. Throughout the summer, parents, alongside their children, continued to take care of the garden and harvested many vegetables, which they froze in anticipation of future use. 

This year, the grade four class had a Harvest Dinner to celebrate the fruits of their labour and the garden. Tomatoes, potatoes, squashes, peppers, beans, and Jerusalem artichokes were harvested to create a delicious dinner to be enjoyed by all. “But,” said some students,” what about dessert? We cannot have a dinner without dessert.” And so, a field trip to the apple orchard was arranged so that each student could prepare a delicious apple crisp. Under the guidance of Madame Philippe and many parents, the children chopped apples and measured dry ingredients to create a dish their families would enjoy

Last Tuesday, as the rain subsided and the sun came out of the clouds, everybody gasped at the bright autumnal colours of the forest which created a beautiful backdrop to the stark white tablecloths and vases of lovely flowers from Qian Guo’s garden which covered each table. All the families of the grade four class (ninety guests) enjoyed the food featuring all the gifts from the garden, including the delicious apple crisps made by the children. Moreover, everybody enjoyed being together and creating beautiful memories.


Now, the garden is empty and ready for new planting in the Spring by Mr. Makin’s grade three class. We bless the garden and wish the grade three class a good harvest and a delicious communal meal just as we have had.


Thank you to all the grade four parents for responding to the clarion call of help when needed, to Madame Philippe and her band of volunteer parents for organizing, guiding, and helping out with the apple crisps, to the intrepid parent reps of grade four, Andria Caister and Jenna Puletto, for all their hard work in organizing and arranging the Harvest Dinner, and to the grade four students for being so awesome.

Global Assignment Help was the service I returned to specifically because when I buy assignment online I also receive feedback notes with delivery that help me understand what makes the submission strong rather than just handing me a file and closing the conversation. The education essay their assignment experts produced came with brief annotations explaining why each section was structured the way it was — and those notes have genuinely changed how I approach my own independent writing this semester. Got a 65 and learned something in the process. Students who want to buy assignment online and receive feedback notes with delivery will find Global Assignment Help's assignment experts treat every order as an opportunity to make you a stronger…

The Grade 4 Harvest Dinner sounds like a wonderful way to bring the community together and celebrate the season. Events like these teach children about teamwork, gratitude, and the joy of sharing meals with friends and family. Adding fun elements like themed decorations or activities makes the experience even more memorable. For schools or organizations looking to commemorate such occasions, using custom iron on patches is a creative idea. These patches can serve as keepsakes for students, marking their participation and making the event special. It’s a thoughtful way to combine celebration with lasting memories.

If you're researching Asian Medical Institute , it's worth comparing the curriculum, admission requirements, clinical training, and student support services before making a decision. I found some useful educational resources through EducationVibes  while exploring different medical universities. It's always a good idea to review official university information alongside trusted guidance to make an informed choice.
