Whilst talking about Australia and its farms and gardens last Term our Grade 3 and 4 students made Scarecrows for their own gardens. Using wooden dowel sticks tied with string, dyed calico, hessian and a variety of materials, including rafia to represent straw, the students created scarecrows which all had individual character. Here are just a few. There are more to come soon.
