Our Visit With Lisa, Term 2 ,Farming

     Our Visit with Lisa...

Dr Lisa Hulme-Moir ( the vet ) came to our school today, she told us about cows milk, diseases, blood cells ( white and red) , illness spread through bulls and rams , and there was even a picture of the inside of an Elephants stomach!.

Lisa told us about all this "stuff" because we had/are learning about farming and agriculture. we went to Angus Allan's ( go check out his blog...) farm called Pukemata  to test some soil and grass, sheep, and cattle. My favourite animal there was a sheep Max H (go have a look at his too!)  and I named llama. 

It was so interesting, that time actually ran away from us it was meant to be a 30 minute talk but ended up being an hour and a half!. Such a cool experience for everyone, wish it could of been longer!!!:).
Here are some pictures from her visit:

Here she tells us about the kinds of jobs and things she does, look at animals,does blood tests,
and generally just check up on them. She also said that one of her co-workers did some work on an ginormous elephant from Auckland Zoo, the image made everyone squeal and feel queasy.

This Photo ( bottom right ) is from the end of her visit with us we wanted to remember this visit with her. And we also wanted to learn some information and put into our seeds' R 'us  work and to put it in our blog. -Sophia
