• Scarecrow Festival

  Tue 03 Nov 2015 Dave

  On Sunday 1st November we had a great turn out for our annual Scarecrow festival. This year through the Learning Alliance we invited local schools to send in their scarecrows and had a great range of entries. Thanks to 3M for sponsoring the £100 first prize. The competition was judged by local M.P. and Education Secretary Nicky Morgan. The overall winner was Ashmount Class 8's entry of 'Ashwit' shared with visitors prize choice winner of Ashmount Class 2. We were also filmed for the T.V. Programme ChoccyWoccyDoDah. They provided a wonderful cake which was sold after the filming. All the food collected was donated to local food charity PACE and the money raised (close to £400) will also go to PACE to help disadvantaged families.

  Many thanks to everyone who took part.
