What are we going to do with this cow

We have worked hard on this blog and have had so many ideas about the cow, we are struggling to decide what to do.
WOOL 


* We have looked at various aspects of the wool industry and brainstormed.



* We looked at other arty cows to be inspired.

We found this website about fibre glass Sheep art. www.kaniva.info 
 

* We have considered art making options that cater to the STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES of us students working on the cow. Some of us paint ok, while others have helped with knitting and embroidery tasks.
 
* We also found some interesting imagery that might inspire us.



We have decided to combine crazy ideas with some traditional arts and crafts that reflect the wool industry.

Time to have some fun.............................................................................

Steph......... What a Farming Champion!

We had a great day with Steph. She started the day with a great presentation about her life, living and on a farm. We were very interested in all the people who work with her, the size of the farm as well as the process of shearing sheep and packing and checking the wool.

We had an opportunity to show Steph our farm, our young bull and new lambs. My Neville, our Ag teacher, wandered through the library and overheard her great stories. Before we knew it, he had his yr 12 class with us who were relishing the opportunity to ask the serious questions for their HSC.

 

Our babies always need a hug.

 

This is how you hold a lamb correctly.

 

 

Our young bull meets Steph

 

The audience is listening intently to Steph. A great presentation.

Mr Neville also enjoyed the morning

 

 

During question time, Steph encouraged us to speak up. Little presents. Thanks Steph

 

 

 

 

Check out more info about Steph's visit next week. We had lots of fun on the farm and asking the big questions!!

 

 

 

Name that Cow, Introducing our winner

Hannah and Tayla were pleased to present Ms Leach from yr 7 with her ItunesCard as a reward for her efforts.

 

 

Name that cow.

We had many entries for our competition.

It was difficult to decide, as the name needed to suit the theme and personality of the cow.

some suggestions were.........

remember, the name needed to be wool related........

woolly goldberg ????

 

wool oo ware ??

 

fleecy ??

 

woolamina  ??

 

mittens ??

 

just to name a few...........

 

After some deliberation, we decided on ................................................

            WOOL I AM.

 

It is contemporary as it plays on musician

Will I Am .... as well as having that powerful, superhero strength that our cow will also pocess.

Congratulation to our winner.

 

Our next assembly will present her with the good news.
