SCARECROW-THEMED DISTRACTIONS FROM APRIL SHOWERS
If the rain has you and your little ones cooped up indoors, we have created a scarecrow-themed activity page to help keep children happy and occupied – at least for a little while.
Click below to visit the children's fun activities. Don't forget to photograph or scan completed colouring in pages so we can display in our special Scarecrow Festival Children's Art Gallery. A link to upload is on the colouring-in section. Your child may even receive a special thanks from Eric the Scarecrow himself.
The prize draw was held at Urchfont Primary on Friday 9th May, where four pupils randomly chose the winners for each category during their school assembly.
