A Trip to Phitia Farm

 A Trip to Phitia Farm

During week 9, day 2 (Tuesday) WBS went to Phitia Farm... well it is not that dramatic. Anyway, here is a blog on a farm trip. Yay.

Station 1: The Cow

As soon as we hopped of the bus, we were sorted into lines and were split up into different stations. The first station was the cow (hints the sub-title). So we got to go visit a female cow. On the bench, in the middle of the paddock, there was whipped cream, milk, chocolate milk, cheese and butter. My arms got so tired when everyone took turns shaking cows milk.

Station 2: The Butcher

The next stop we got to was the butcher. We had to see a year old lamb get chopped up by a butcher. I stayed and watched the poor thing get butchered but other people (mostly girls) went out and did not want to watch it.

Station 3: The Vehicles

The 3rd stop was vehicles. There were 4 vehicles that we could climb on and play on, a tractor, a 4 wheel drive, a motorcycle and a farm truck with 2 dog cages in the back. The tractor was green, the 4 wheel drive and the motorcycle was red and the truck was white.

Station 4: The Drone

Stop 4 was the drone. At the drone we got to watch a tv that attached to the drone so were ever the drone went we could see where it was going. We even saw a crashed 4 wheel drive but it was only fake though!

Last Station: Sheep

The last station of our trip was the sheep. We got to see farm dogs herd sheep into the corner of the paddock. There was a woof woof dog and a stare stare dog. The woof woof dog barked at the sheep and the stare stare dog stared at the sheep to herd them. We also got to see sheep get shorn!

I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed going on this trip!!
