With a big thanks from Pudsey Agricultural, with their donation of straw and sacking, we started making the first of our Olympic scarecrows.  The children were really excited and loved sorting out the clothes and dressing them.  Then we put them in the garden beds.  We have two runners and a horse rider (though on closer inspection, he is actually sitting on a sheep - a donation from Mrs Smith's class from an earlier art project). However from a distance, he looks the real deal.  We need to get some wooden crosses to make them stand up, but I think we were so excited to make them and keen to see what they looked like, that we overlooked that fact. So two of our Olympians are sitting on the ground - either warming up or recovering from the 400 metre race. (Well that's their excuse and they're sticking to it!)  The children were keen to have their photos taken with the scarecrows and Cameron even tried to be one! It's been a really fun afternoon with a lovely easterly breeze keeping us cool.
