On Wednesday 16th October, Lambs were baaing, calfs were mooing and goats were, well goats were making their noises too. All this was because of Te Pahu School's Ag Day. Kids had the choice of bringing a calf, lamb or goat to ag day. Before the day, they had to train it to lead, come when its called and for goats, go around an obstacle corse. They also had to learn what their animal was allergic to and keep it clean. There were kids that didn't bring an animal though. And on the day they had the choice of doing clay modelling, T-Shirt making, photography, or cupcake decorating. But leading up to ag day, they had to do a home challenge and create at least one of these things: A multi-media canvas, design a model of the tree stump, design a working sandpit toy, create a portable garden or biuld a birhouse. However, on the day a few room 7 students were chosen to help run the event. I talked to Kayla Moulder who built a birdhouse. I asked her if the outcome was what she wanted. She replied with 'No. I thought I would come last but I came second." Then she added, "It looked better in my imagination." She was chosen as a runner for the intermediate lambs. She said that she kind of enjoyed it because she got to watch the lambs but the bad thing was that she had to run back and forward and back and forward and so on. Overall, I think it was a good day and even though it rained a little, everyone still had a great time. Now some people will take their animals to group day, where they will compete against other schools. Good Luck for those that do!
