Planting and Clearing Day

n Friday the first week back at school room 7 went up to the priongia lodge and started clearing and planting plants for the outdoor classroom. We had to send out sponsorship letters so that we could get plants and donations. I sent one to Thompsons Timber Whatawhata.

When we got up there we had to buddie up with someone. I buddied up with another girl in my class. We were up there with Pirongia School. My least favourite parts were when I had to dig a really big hole and Lilly just stood there watching me and saying, "Keep digging, a little bit more, I think it will fit now", it was really anoying. The other part was when I carried a watering can up and down a slope watering plants. I am really proud of what we have created and I am excited to what it will look like in a couple of years time.

Ag day

This is me and Myjestic
On the first week back at school Te Pahu school had their ag day run by the school P.T.A. The student either did a calf, goat, lamb or alternative challenge. The students are very lucky to have a day like this to show of their animals and marster pieces. I did a calf her name is Myjestic, she is a heriford X friesian and she is so layed back.

I competed in leading first and got first and champion, next was rearing, I got first and reserve champion, then was beef type, I got fourth. Last was group of three, I did it with shane and my sister. Us and our calves dressed up in a hawaian theme, our calves led really well and we placed first. I am really proud of my calf and I cant wait for group day.

Holidays

In the holidays I went to little vally farm in Ohaupo. For all you who don't know me I love horses and I have two of my own. One is called Lynx and he is a bay gelding and the other is called Pegasus, he is a grey gelding. I took Lynx to the farm and did some cross country. I jumped some jumps I had never jumped before and some that we way above my level. I did a reallly big jump into a water jump and lynx cleared it by miles. When he landed in the water the splashed up in my eyes. I had a awesome time and I hope to go back some time soon. I
