I remember 'If you're Happy and you know it (clap your hands)(stamp your feet) (shout we are)' It was a good way of getting all that noise and energy out of us kids I think!

Harvest Festival was a great time too, I still love this song to this day:-

We plough the fields and scatter
the good seed on the land,
For it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand,
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to feed the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine and soft refreshing rain,
All good gifts around us was sent from Heaven above
So thank the Lord oh thank the Lord for all his love.

This as a 4 year old was not only a nice little song but was one of those occasions in my childhood diary that I looked forward to. I remember ransacking my mother's food cupboard every September so that I could contribute some items of food. This was packaged up as food parcels and delivered to pensioners.
