At the risk of sounding like a Daily Mail spouting buffoon...whatever happened to schools having Harvest Festivals? A chance for some local vicar to cover along, bore the kids for half an hour on how these are the best days of the kids lives, then bugger off with numerous cans of pineapple chunks and Heinz Scotch Broth. Taken for the poor and needy of the parish, obviously.
Nowadays, it's probably some interfaith celebration of autumnal bounty, or similar crud. Probably with a similar attendance as that of the slide above.

Harvest Festivals are still alive and well in our schools don't you worry. Nowadays though instead of giving the produce to the local church or homeless shelter it is sold back to the parents at the end of the day and the money passed on to charity .... yes, you can have the honour of buying somebody else's dusty tin of almost out-of-date lentil soup for twice the price of a brand new one in Tescos. Definitely a good day to let the kids throw a sickie!
