Everyone at Llangrove CE Academy was thrilled at the success of their scarecrow at the Monmouth Show. Their ‘Mother Earth’ scarecrow came second at the Monmouth Show on Saturday and had pride of place in the craft tent.

‘Mother Earth’ has a ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ theme. She was made by the Art Clubbers from recycled newspapers and plastic bags. Year 6 painted her to represent the land and seas and her outfit was made from donated fabric samples, on which the children created nature inspired silhouettes. The patterned leaves on her top were inspired by their class names – Acorn, Beech and Oak and were decorated by Beech Class.
