Year 3

I liked all the things we did. I liked basketball, milking, feeding, hand plowing, playing in the fort, going on the back of the truck and riding the horses. The horse I rode was called Patches. There is one more thing I liked – making the butter. There is a way to make it at home. Get a container with a lid and get four or five marbles, add normal cream and shake it for about 20 minutes and then it’s done.

 

I learnt that there is a lot of equipment needed to make butter, that technology has changed for ploughing and that children had to walk behind their parents and drop the seed in the ground.

 

I liked mostly everything but the best was the truck ride because we got to feed the horses carrots. We went up the hill and over some paddocks to get there.

 

I learnt that riding a horse is NOT as easy as it looks! I learnt how butter is made and how hand ploughing is done. What a great place Narnu farm is!

 

I liked playing Friend Or Foe on the fort and playing table tennis with my mates. I really enjoyed milking the cows (though the udders were slimy) and the horse riding (I would like to go horse riding again at some stage).
