The BFG, a not so scary scarecrow!

In the first few weeks we were given the challenge of making a scarecrow to put into our school garden. Mrs O was getting sick of the bugs and bees eating the strawberries in our garden. We made a scarecrow which is 'The best BFG'(or so Room 9 says!). 

To build the BFG we used:

Bamboo to hold his arms up

Straw to stuff him with

A shirt and pants to dress him in

A wooden post to attach his body to

A pillow case to make his ears and nose

Zip ties to tie his arms and legs on

Gumboots 

Buttons for eyes

The students in Room 9 did a wonderful job making their scarecrow, with lots of problem solving along the way!

A huge thank you to those who donated the materials. 

Don't forget to drop in and say g'day to our BFG.
