Rosie The Scarecrow

If you live in the Halewood area you may have noticed the arrival of a lot of new residents around and about... The Halewood Culture Festival this year included a Scarecrow trail. Carole of Halewood Arts ran a number of workshops throughout Halewood giving residents the chance to make their own scarecrows and be included in the trail.

Of course our wonderful Junior Artists Club wanted to contribute to this and Rosie was made. The JAC have a passion for creating environmentally friendly art work and wanted to create an environmentally friendly scarecrow. Rosie has been on display at the front of The Environment Centre and the Junior Artists have become very attached to Rosie.

Have you spotted Rosie when driving past The Environment Centre?

We then ran a session in which the children could do some drawing outside, making the most of the lovely weather we have had recently. 

We then decided to ask the JAC, "What did Rosie do next?" and like always some of the drawings and stories the children came up with where great! Here is an example of some of the work.

The story that went with this drawing - "Rosie was chasing the cat, to put her in the bin"

We are very proud of the work the JAC produced as always, do you have any pictures or stories about the other scarecrows you have seen around Halewood?
