Learning about life on a dairy farm
The Terrace School exploring the milking shed.
Ice cream taste test time. At St Joseph's School, Rm 1 and 2 joined together with some teenager helpers (aka chief taste testers). The girl in the last picture is beaming because she is dairy intolerant and didn’t miss out because our try with coconut milk worked well. Golden syrup, strawberry and peanut butter were favourites as well as honey and oats.
On the 6th of December, 2018 our Year 9 Agriculture class travelled to Rolleston to visit a dairy farm. It was an incredibly interesting and informative trip with lots of questions asked and answered about the type of milking sheds, how the farm operates, and the dairy cow breeding program. We saw cows being milked (some of us were a bit too close to the rear end of a cow for comfort!), experienced how powerful the suction on the cups were, saw some huge Jersey and Angus bulls, and saw the computer system that monitors all the cows milk and health. We had a lot of fun and learnt so much too! Thanks Dairy NZ and School Kit!
We had a fabulous visit out to Brookfields Farm last week. Our trip took us an hour from Gisborne on the bus and 46 of our Takitimu Syndicate children were very excited to get to see the cows and calves on the farm. Our adventure included feeding the calves, riding on the milking platform and watching the cows being milked. We also got to talk the Fonterra truck driver about his tanker! Farmer Hamish and all his staff were very accommodating to us and even his little dog Ruby enjoyed having us there. We had a picnic lunch, played some games and got to drink our milk we took with us. When we got back we made butter to taste and we wrote some stories about where milk comes from. The day couldn't have been more perfect (apart from the smell that some children couldn't get over) and we want to thank you for giving our students an awesome learning experience which I'm sure they'll remember for a long time!
Thanks School kit for the awesome experience of making ice cream with all the breakfast ingredients. The Year one students loved the shake shake shake and the taste taste taste. They learnt about the hot transferring to the cold which made the ice cream go hard as the ice melted in the outer bag. We had enough ingredients sent to us to share the love

Room 3 at St Peter's Catholic, Cambridge, loved the 'Breakfast Ice Cream' School Kit experience. Baked Beans and Miso weren't so bad after all!
I teach a year 1 and 2 class at Maungatapu School. We have loved making and experimenting with flavours we can use for breakfast ice cream! We were super surprised at how it turned out - it was pretty much real ice cream! The kit was put together so well, we were very impressed. Thanks so much for your help and efforts organising this.
