Makuru / Winter Festival
5.30pm - Gather in classrooms for soup and fellowship and story.
6.15pm - Lighting of the Lanterns in the classrooms.
6.30pm - Class 6 lead the procession to the Spiral and Lantern Walk, followed by Classes 1 to 5 in numerical order.
Please walk the spiral and lantern walk in silence and with reverence, listening to the singing and music and perhaps you will catch the whisper of fairy wings….
Stand around the spiral, singing with staff, until the last of the lantern walkers join us. We will then make our way to the bonfire.
7.00pm - Class 6 Lighting of the Bonfire. Sing the Bonfire songs.
7.30pm - Close of festival, travel home safely.
Please refrain from the use of mobile phones as torches or for photos for the duration of the Spiral and Lantern walk. Enjoy being present in a collective mood of reverence. Should you wish to take photos of the fairy houses please go back to take them once everyone has been through at least once.
Many thanks for your cooperation.
