Pet day!

Today at our school is Pet day, where some kids bring in their Pets; like, Sheep, horses, cats, dogs, ect.
We have a timetable for what we're doing today, so the first thing we had to do is make either a Vegetable sculpture or a sand saucer, I buddied up with my friend called Chloe to make this saucer, we used rocks, flowers and of course sand.
Chloe and I liked how this turned out because we also added our own little rocks called stanley and leah.

           here is a closer picture of our work on the left there is stanley and on the right there is leah.

What we have next is I think the hobby horse race and it is a choice to race on a hobby horse.

update:

After break we then read a bit of our class book called 'boy underwater', while having some morning tea. A bit after the teacher finished reading a chapter we got told to head outside for duck herdling, where a dog called De (I think that's how you spell it) hurdled ducks like he would with sheep, it was quite funny watching De hurdle ducks because it's not something you would see on an average day.

After De finished herdling the ducks into a bright orange net, some kids got a bit sensitive because The owner of De picked the ducks up by their necks and people thought it was hurting them, but then we soon found out that the neck is the strongest part of a duck.

we then Huddled into a semi circle on one side of the pit for questions to ask the man controlling De (i'm also not sure what his name is).

we then went over to this little cage where inside was a sheep, it was Ms Adams pet sheep and she brought it in to show us how she sheared a sheep, I've never seen a sheep being sheared before so the was he was holding the sheep sorta freaked me out, but I guess it's normal for a sheep.

while we were getting back in our positions around the pit, Mrs Tebbet was setting up for the hobby horse course, this race was optional, you would find there were homemade ones and store bought ones, I didn't do the race but I watched my friend Chloe do it, the teacher took some pictures of the year 8's (and Nikoli)

after all that we had lunch and the PTA were making free sausage sizzle for the school, during lunch break Mrs Taylor went around Putting Letters and Numbers on our hand saying which group we're in, I was in group 'E1'. After lunch we then Lined up in our groups on the court and headed of with a teacher for our first rotation of activities, there were a whole range of them like, Gumboot throwing, hay bale race, egg and spoon race, ect. My favourite activity would probably have to be either gumboot throwing or the egg and spoon race, after all the activities were completed it was then time for the animals to come, there were cats, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, and more.

then they did these judging things and I got to help with judging small dogs, with this boy and his girlfriend, I helped out the girl (again I forgot their names) I was writing down what she thought was good about the dog and then I gave it to the owner of the dog.

I personally found Pet day really fun because this was the first one i've ever been too, and I find them really fun and exciting.
