Scarecrow Building in Class 2

Lesson: Science

Class: Class 2 Year: 2022 - 2023

Last Wednesday, five local residents came to work with Class 2, to build enormous scarecrows that will be displayed in some of the Warton gardens that will be open to the public next month!  We had a fantastic time working with the team (superbly organised by Claire) who taught us all about using natural materials, and reusing man-made materials, to avoid waste and protect the environment.  We created some fantastic scarecrows - look how big they are! We worked collaboratively in teams, fastening and attaching the different materials.  We tied lots of knots! Some of us even made crow headbands, to test out whether or not the scarecrows would 'scare' us away!

Thank you to the 'Garden Gang' for coming in to give us this wonderful opportunity.  We can't wait to take a walk around the village to see them all 'in situ'.   Perhaps you will go to see them, yourselves, too?  They have very kindly gifted tickets for the children of Class 2 +1 adult to access the local gardens for free.  Any refreshments purchased while visiting will help to contribute to a number of worthwhile charities.
