Michaelmas Festivals

The Apple Tree held 2 Michaelmas festivals where the children and their families came together to sing songs, share poems and stories. The Pippins, Discoveries and Edens along with The Orange Grove made up the larger festival where each group prepared something together for the feast.

Orange Grove – Buns
Edens – Apple Crumble
Discoveries – Soup
Pippins – Butter

Harvested apples, many from the gardens of our families were brought in and pressed.

The Oakens, our youngest group had a celebration of their own where they prepared soup and bread and sang a song about dragons before pressing their own apples and enjoying the juice together. They wore beautiful felt crowns and capes made by some of the group parents.
