Scarecrow Festival

The National Wildflower Centre's first ever Schools Scarecrow Festival took place on the 18th and 19th of July, 2009 with over 20 local schools taking part.
Claire Minter from BBC Radio Merseyside's Tony Snell at Breakfast programme had a tough time judging the 24 entries!
The winners are
Infant School
Winner - St.Andrew the Apostle, Halewood.
"Miss Plastic Fantastic" - made entirely of recycled plastic bags.
Highly Commended - Malvern Primary, Huyton.
"Bughouse Scarecrow" - lots of nooks and crannies for insects to make a home.
Junior School
Winner - St.Cuthbert's, Old Swan.
"Busy Buzzy Bee" - Really enormous bumble bee, very topical at the moment.
Highly Commended - Royal School for the Blind, Wavertree.
"O - Feel - ia" - her earrings are made from sleigh bells and make a lovely sound moving in the breeze.
All schools taking part received a goody bag and a professional full colour photo of their scarecrow to keep. The winning Infant and Junior schools each received a unique trophy.
