INSPIRED by the recent Countryside Day held at Springfield Park attended by Primary 5 pupils Borders-wide, these P5 pupils from Tweedbank met the challenge to design and create their own individual scarecrow creations.
Scarecrow characters ranged from Chloe Hope’s tiny baby scarecrow to Tiana Palepoi’s towering cowboy character; from Brandan Kirk and Jardine Thomson’s cheeky wee boys to Jade Allan & Millie Simon’s female creations; to Erin Stoddart’s 'you wouldn’t want to meet him on a dark night’ to Callum Gray’s football legend 'Gressi’.
P5 chose to showcase their scarecrows in the newly revamped school courtyard. It was given a facelift by the school’s eco-team aided and abetted by pupils and teachers from all classes as well as the janitor and helpers from the community.
The courtyard is furnished with outdoor cushions donated to Tweedbank Primary by Tesco and plants from Lowood Nursery. Many thanks to all.
