NZ Shake Up. By Paige

On Wednesday 26th September at 9:26 all over New Zealand people were practising their earthquake drill in the New Zealand Shake out drill.
Mrs Dunn shouted, "Earthquake!! get under your desks - drop, cover and hold."
I got under my desk and held onto my desk, I was looking away from the window because it could smash.,
We were all giggling and laughing.
Then Mrs Dunn said, " Stay under your desks until we hear the all clear bell."
Then we lined up on the field and the teachers called the roll to check if everyone was there.
It was fun and exciting and it was good that it was not a real earthquake.

St John By Michaela

                                         On Wednesday we saw Olivia the St Johns teacher.

She taught us how to wrap a persons hand with a bandage if their hand was bleeding and you wanted it to stop bleeding. It was fun wrapping the persons hand up but not so much fun to have to roll the long bandage up again!

When someone is hurt and you need help ring 111. The operator will ask for your phone number, your address and what the problem is. Do not hang up because they give you lots of information on the way and you should send someone out to the gate so they can see where you are.

                                       

Calves at Calf Club by Phoebe

The day before we washed our calves with water and a special type of oil. Then we brushed them a lot.We cleaned their hooves with a toothbrush.
On calf club I had to get the water from the fountain twice because our calves knocked it over.
We had to brush them lots and lots after we got to school.
 I came 2nd, 2nd, 3rd and Reserve Champion .
After that my pants got chewed by my calf!
Soon I'm going to another show called the Wellsford show and I'm going to do the same thing  again.
The Wellsford show is on Saturday. It will be really fun.  

Lambs at Calf Club By Jasmine

On show day I took my lamb called Polly. 

We got up early to get Polly ready. She needed her milk and sheep pallets and water. 

First I had to scrub her knees and back legs with a cloth and shampoo! 

Then Polly was put on the trailer but she didn't like it, she went "Maaaa, maaa all the way to school."

The first thing I had to do was walk around the ring with Polly

Then I had to take my lamb to a person who would hold it .

Then I had to run to the other end and call it and if it comes to you take the lambs led and then you take it and they do the judging.

Then they do prize giving and I got a first for calling and meat type and reserve champion.

And then I went home and  put my ribbons away and put Polly in the paddock and now I and Polly are going to group day.
