CHILDREN at Crawshawbooth Primary School are very excited about the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

For the past few weeks the Lower Junior department have been secretly making Harry and Meghan scarecrows to adorn the front of the school in time for the happy couple’s wedding.

The Lower Junior children have written letters to the Royal couple to wish them well and to share with them all the exciting things that have been going on throughout the school in their honour.

The school hopes to receive a reply from the newlyweds letting pupils know if they liked the scarecrows.

The Upper Junior children have also been busy making a fabulous wedding themed rock hunt in between taking their SATs.

Key Stage one and Foundation Stage decorated cakes and made crowns ready for a whole school picnic in the afternoon which included cakes and cucumber sandwiches.

Children and teachers all dressed up in red, white and blue or wore wedding or party clothes to get into wedding spirit.

The Crawshawbooth Royal scarecrows will remain on site until the scarecrow festival in June.
