A few weeks ago Ms Staniford and I took a
team of four Year 7-8 students to compete in
the Hawkes Bay Kids Literature Competition.
They were Millie Haszard, Elijah Ioane,
Katarina Te Whaiti and Leah Jones. This is a
competition for students who love reading.
Teams are given different categories with ten
questions to answer in each category. After
ten rounds the winner is announced. The
winner for the fifth year in a row was Taradale
Intermediate. They now go onto the National
competition. This is only the second time our
school has had a team and I was very proud of
their efforts. They were very consistent getting
6-7 questions correct in most rounds. A big
thanks to Ms Staniford for her help and to the
students for your hard work leading up to the
competition.

love to have them donated. Thanks
My Calf’s name is Daisy.
My calf’s number is 37.
My calf needs love, milk,
grooming, and walking. She
likes to walk about 3 time,
needs shelter and you need talk
to your calf.
Dairy Diary Day 1 - Today we
went to the farm for calf club.
When we got there Harmony had
to cut the number and put them in the hat so our class
could get our calf. When I got my calf I was so scared
because mine kept pulling me. When I got used to my calf
I groomed it, let it suck on my hand. Then I took Daisy
around the paddock and then I groomed Daisy till she was
clean and then we made the milk and we let go of the
calves and gave them their milk. Then we had lunch.

Dairy Diary Day 1 - Today we
went to calf club. We had fun
my calf was the hardest one to get out
of the barn. When I really got to know
my calf I walked her around the ring and
brushed her fur. After that we took their
harnesses off and let them run and
have milk. We got to have milkshakes
and food and then we left. MELISSA
