Scarecrow Building Challenge

This year there was much excitement around our first house competition. Mr Dean and members from Highnam Church decided to set a house scarecrow building challenge. Each house was set the challenge of making two scarecrows: 1 for Key Stage One and the other for Key Stage Two. Our homework was to plan out a scarecrow and to bring in various props and materials to help our creations.

On the day we were supplied with pumpkins (kindly donated by Over Farm Market), straw from Mrs Smith and Mrs King and a selection of clothes. We had a great time building the scarecrows and each group displayed super teamwork and also tidied up very well, as there was a lot of mess!

The scarecrows were taken to the church to be judged by local farmer, John Smith, and were displayed for our harvest festival. Congratulations to Lassington house the overall winners of this competition.
