My calf’s name is Lisa.

My calf’s number is 108.

My calf needs milk, love, grass,

shelter, friends, shade and sun.

Dairy Diary Day 1 -

Today the class went to a farm for calf

club. When we got there

Harmony had to cut up the numbers

for our calves. I was holding the hat so Harmony can put

the numbers in there. My number was 108 and my calf

was brown and white, her name is Lisa. After that we had

a yummy lunch, then we went back. TIARI RM 8

My calf’s name is Brittany.

My calf’s number is NT.

My calf needs milk, shelter, love,

friends, meal and sleep. My calf

does not move really but she is

kind and she lies down a lot. She

loves getting groomed because she

falls asleep while I’m brushing her.

DAIRY DIARY DAY 1 -

At calf club we had to pull a number out of a hat, I

got one with a NT and then we lead them around,

it was cool. Then we saw the horses, one of them

put his ears back and charged at us, it was a bit

scary. I loved my calf the minute I saw it. My calf

was kind to me. After they all had milk and we

had lunch MOSS RM 8

SCHOOL CARPARKS—SAFETY ISSUE

When dropping off your children

please do not park in the area

around the office or in the back

carpark. The area is becoming very

conjested at the beginning and end of the school

day. Thank you.

We saw a crab with spikes on it. A crab

has a hard shell on it. When a crab’s shell

gets too small they take it off and they get

a new shell. It grows underneath the old

one. A crab has 10kgs and only goes

sideways. A hermit crab needs to find a

shell to protect itself from other animals

because it only has a soft body. A crab

can be eaten by lots of animals. It might

nip you with its pincers. A camouflage

crab will hide by cutting up seaweed and

putting it on to his shell. He has hooks on

his back for the seaweed.

In Autumn I can see lots of colourful

leaves on the trees. Some trees

have bare branches on the top

because the leaves have started to

fall off. I picked up some dry, brown

leaves and scrunched them in my

hand. The leaves we collected were

different shapes and colours and

sizes. Autumn leaves are so pretty.
