Its the second week of the New Zealand School holidays - and we've some huge events coming up Term Four - first week back on Thursday we have our biggest day of the School year, our annual Calf and Lamb Day. We have students who have been raising Lambs and Calves for this event and the judging competition. This video below, created by Mr Bloor is the highlights from 2014 and shows our Lamb and Calf Day that year.
We've also had some fantastic students working on their student blogs during the holidays.

Hello Mr. Webb--
ReplyDeleteOur Texas classroom is excited to learn about your Calf and Lamb Day! We'll be visiting your students' blogs this week, and we'll be able to leave comments for those students who have "Name/URL" as an option in the drop down menu of the comment box. Unfortunately, none of the other options match what we use for school accounts.
Here's to another fun year of exchanging visits with y'all!

ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Can't wait to hear from you and your students, everyone should have that setting on their student blogs, but I will make sure that they do. So great to hear from you.
Mr Webb
Good morning Mr Webb! It's 10:37 in the morning here and I am with a spectacular class of Year 5 pupils in Liverpool in the UK. We have just watched you video about your lamb and calf day on your blog. We think it is really cool that you have this even and look after the animals like you do. It's very different to what we do here.
ReplyDeleteWe will be coming back again to leave some comments for your pupils.
Bye for now.

Wow that is awesome you actually get to bring cows and sheep to school! That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow that is so cool! I am Katie from Mrs. Kriese's class in Texas and we don't have the Lamb and calf day I have never heard of something like that! A day that we have every year is called Celebration West Ridge which is like a school carnival where there is rock climbing, bouncy houses, cake walks and a lot af fun games!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Webb!
ReplyDeleteI am Katey from Mrs. Kriese's class in Texas- a part of #16stubc. I find it very interesting that you have Calf and Lamb day! Do most people bring calfs or lambs? Y'all must live by a farm or on farm land! How many more weeks until Summer for you and your students? We have around 8 months! It's a lot! I wish that we had only a couple weeks left! Come visit my blog at edublogs.eanesisd.net/katherine8482022/. I can not wait to read what y'all have to say about life in New Zealand!
I wish we could have lamb and calf day! I have a few ranches with some farm animals that would be so fun to bring! I decided to come to this blog was because my uncle lives in New Zealand and I've always wanted to visit! I look forward to reading some more New Zealand blogs! I hope you can come visit my blog!
ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Harper I am from Mrs.Kriese's class in Texas. At my ranch we just got two calfs but sadly I'm not allowed top take them to school. But sometimes we do get to wear funny costumes if it's a special day.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Caleb I think that's awesome that you can take lambs and calfs to the school.
ReplyDeleteI really love animals too! I liked all of the pictures and videos of the animals. One thing that you can do is maybe explain what you're doing a little better. About how many animals usually come every year? -Sahana
ReplyDeleteHello Mr Webb, I'm Dina from Merrydale Juniors(in the UK) and I would love to have calves and lambs in our school. Unfortunately, we cannot bring calves into our school because that would be very awkward! I've got one question and it is,what is your favourite animal?
