Te Poi School Agricultural Day

Te Poi School held their Agricultural Day on Monday 19 October after having to postpone the event from the previous Thursday, which rained, rained and rained. It was a beautiful warm sunny day for the Families and Friends who came along and supported us on this great day. Our owners certainly put in a lot of hard work over the weeks preparing us for the ring activities. It was certainly fun to win a certificate, ribbon, trophy or cup and to meet other animals. Us Calves, Lambs and Kid Goats also met some of our friends from St Joseph’s School who we had invited out to be part of our day. They told us that they had a good time too. It looked like the Humans watching enjoyed themselves as they had lots of yummy food to eat prepared by the PTA. A and a “Dad’s Bake a Cake” Competition, all helping to raise funds for the school.
Special thanks to the Judges, all of those who helped organise the day and the sponsors. National Bank. Livestock Improvement, Rabobank, AgriSea, Animal Health Centre, R.D.1, Landmark Vets, your support is really appreciated.

We had great fun and learning in Room 9 when we designed, constructed and finally raced our CO2 cars in the big race off last term. The winning car was Mwhip in 1.14 seconds over a 20 metre sprint.
