Clive's Pet Day Recount

Pet day

Pet day is the day when you bring a pet to school. And the judges judge your pets. I brought a pussy cat to school. His name is Tahi. We named him Tahi because he has 1 black spot on his head. I was surprised to see so many pets there. There were lambs, calfs, dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. There was even a barbeque there was selling sausages and fizzy drinks.
But the best part was the young famers competion. You had to nail a nail in to a log of wood. Then you have to put about 10 pinecones in to a wheel barrow then zig zag around some fence posts. Then tip the pine cones in to a hula hoop then put a rubber ring around a piece of rope. After that you throw a gumboot in to a hula hoop. Then jump in to a sack then jump about five metres. After that you put up an electric fence. But last but not least you have to put up a midget gate.

Fordell School Pet Day

Last Monday we trucked in all sorts of pets; horses, calves, lambs, rabbits, dogs and bunnies. Amid the fun we had chasing the occasional run-a-way dog we also decked out Room 4 with a range of exhibits which the judges claimed were of an exceptionally high standard! The Number 1 Workshop competed fabulously, earning lots of ribbons, certificates and trophies. Imogen, Daniel, Caleb and Leuka wowed parents with their barbecuing skills while fundraising for camp. Ryan re-claimed his title of Open Calf Champion for a second year running while Nikita stole the show with her horse and her lamb Minty(who also walked around beautifully for her sister Addison in the preschool section!) Cheyann won the over-all dog champion while Ryan received a family pet trophy for his dog Tess. Keep posted for the many other hi-lights of pet day still to come!

RUGBY WORLD CUP DAY!

On the last day of term 3, students of Fordell School dressed up to support their favourite team(s). Didn't we do well!
