Scarecrow Competition

The Scarecrow Journey.

Last week we learnt about scarecrows.

We read books, watched videos, and looked at pictures on Google because there was a scarecrow competition. Lots of people brought stuff to make the scarecrow like wool, hay, wood, flower pots, old clothes, newspaper, plastic bags, and gumboots and gloves.

We made a dog a sheep and two scarecrows called Mr. and Mrs. Scarecrow. Matilda and Amber drew the faces. Then Mrs. Carrick took them to the scarecrow competition in Lincoln on Saturday. Ours came in 1^st place we got a Gold trophy and gummy bears. YUMMMMMM!
