Tailing at Carterhope

This weekend some parents and children went tailing at Caterhope to raise money for the school to buy new things.

We also went there to have heaps of fun like playing with the lambs and riding sheep around the pen.

Along with having fun we also had to work doing jobs to help. Vaughan and Scott helped to set up the pens and draft the lambs and Morgan and Latyun helped to tail them and to stop them from smothering. On the first day of tailing (Saturday) we tailed 14 paddocks of lambs and on the second day (Sunday) we tailed eight paddocks. When we finished we went up to the wool shed, the adults had cold beverage and the kids had fizzy. We also played in the wool shed, sliding down the chutes and trying to catch pigeons that were flying around. It was a fun weekend spent with the other children, parents and teachers.

The only photos we got were of Mr Bissett getting his truck stuck in a boggy paddock. Who would like to see the photo?

Sorry Mr Bissett, but who are we to stand in the way of good photography.
