It has been an action packed term at Collis.

Scarecrow at Hampton Court

Collis will have its own scarecrow on display at the Hampton Court flower show. It was designed  and made by a Collis mother and the gifted and talented team of children. The theme this year was a midsummer Nights Dream by Shakespeare. The scarecrow also had to be made out of recycled materials. ‘Bottom’ was originally a pink unicorn!
Visitors will be voting on which is their favourite scarecrow, so fingers crossed for Collis.
