Do you want milk with that?
Oct. 19th, 2008 09:55 pmI may seem like a complete idiot when i say this but: i never knew cows could be so big!
As the schools are switching to more 'hands on' learning with the introduction of the Foundation Phase, my school had a cow brought in on Friday to teach the 4 - 7 year olds where milk comes from and how to milk a cow. The children then made milkshake/smoothies with the milk they had obtained from the cow, and several farmers wives came in to make bread with the children.
Now i'm 5'6" roughly, and the cow? The body came up to my nose. Seriously....i just stood there and my jaw dropped. Because cow = BIG cow.
But oh so funny...one six year old was talking to me and said "you'll never believe this...but there's a cow in the school. The Head Teacher wouldn't believe me when i told him." Hee...it's so funny baiting children sometimes. I tried very hard to keep a straight face because i knew at that precise minute the Head and Assistant Head were cleaning up a pile of cow dung that the cow had very kindly donated.
And oh how i'm getting fed up of my Dad telling me he's seen Torchwood filming....and yet whenever i go to Cardiff, that's apparently their day off. S'no fair :o(
