Our end of year craft

For about a week now team twelve have been working on our owl's. The first thing that we did was we practised doing the running stitch. Once we thought we were good at doing the running stitch we moved on to the whip stitch.After that we got two of our body's. Then we gathered all of the material for our beaks, legs, eyes, wings, and legs. We then sewed all of our things on. When we were finished. that we did the running stitch on the top and sides. Then we stuffed our owl's. Lastly we whip stitched the bottom. I had a lot of fun making owl's.
I hope you get a chance to make owl's.

My photo peach of our farm trip

 
Team 12's topic for this term is "from paddock to palate".  To learn more about our topic we went on a trip to Miss Workman's farm.  When we arrived we went to go find a place to sit in the paddock.  After that we had a look at the milking shed. I found out that when there is lots of noise the cow will pee or poo.  Next we got to taste some milk I loved the milk but some people didn't like it at all. After that we sat down and had a bit of morning tea. Then we had a look at the calves and the other cows.  When we had finished that we had lunch. Julie (Ariana and Brooke's mum) gave everyone some cake.  Lastly we had a fun gumboot throw.  Then we went back to Vardon. I had a lot of fun but one thing I didn't like was when I stood on a big pile of poo.  Other than that it was a blast on the farm.
