Why is there more white sheep than black sheep

Why is there more white sheep than black sheep?

Once upon a time there was a sheep farmer named Fred Dagg who only wanted white sheep in his paddocks. He used his special powers by casting a spell on all the rams so that they only produced lambs with white wool.

Unfortunately, the spell wore out and some lambs were born with black wool. Big Joe, the farmer from down the road who really liked black sheep, would sneak down in the middle of the night to steal the black sheep that were born. He was worried that Fred Dagg would kill them. Big Joe had friends who also liked black sheep so he shared them around and that is why we now have some black sheep all around New Zealand.

My sister Olivia

Have you met my sister ?

She is cute!

Although she is so cute, she is a bit of trouble when she is grumpy.

Olivia smiles and giggles whenever she sees me get off the bus. When I walk in the door I like to give her a great big hug.

Happily she will play soccer with me on the floor and throws the ball for me to kick. Sometimes I kick it back to her which hits her in the stomach and knocks her backwards making her cry.

One game that she loves to play with me is Peek-a-Boo. She puts her favourite blanket over her head and then she pulls it off quickly.

We have had to give her her own special remote as she likes to chew on them and bites the buttons off.

Tractors

Tractors

by Jack Daly & Zac Craw   

       

These are the towing tractors. They are the workers of the farm and will tow anything out of anywhere!

These the are Cases and International tractors .

These are some high power tractors that your farm well need.

These here are the old school tractors... The Leyland, Nuffield, Case and the Leyland truck.

These are what you need on a farm.  

The truck is good for carting grain.

The Nuffield is good to bale the the hay in the field.

The Leyland is good for carting hay to the stock and the case is good for towing those heavy loads.

Cricket 2016

On Saturday I went to Kaiapoi to pick up my cricket set.  In the set I got a Gray-Nicolls bat, a ball, a box, a set of pads, a helmet and a bag.

I am really excited about the cricket season beginning. I am going to listen carefully to the coach and learn heaps of new skills.
