Lucy The Sheeps Dissection

On Friday the 6th of June Pat came down to the school with a lamb (Lucy) that he had killed because it had eczema. He first skinned it and cut it open around the shoulder blade. Then he showed us a ball and socket joint and told us how it worked. Then he told us that if you put out a hip it is a serious injury because it breaks the ligament in the ball and socket. Then he cut it down the middle to show us the “GUTS” first he showed us where everything is set out and explained that we are very similar to a sheep on the inside. Then some of us got some gloves on and held a piece of lung. Then he got out the liver and we passed that round. The liver really stunk! After that he showed us that the lungs have air in them and they float and the liver doesn’t. Even try it! Some time after we had been looking at the liver he showed us where the heart lived. He opened up the heart and showed us the arteries and all of the chambers that the heart has. Then came the smelly bit. He opened up the stomach and Lucy had just had a feed! There was heaps off munted grass that the stomach had been processing. After we had done that we had an experiment at finding how long the small intestine was. It measured it as 14 steps running. Then he opened the head/cranium. He cut the jaw open so we could see that Lucy had not been brushing her teeth! Then he showed us the Lens in the eyeball. He opened it up and it squirted liquid at him. When he opened it up more you could see this really cool greeny, bluey colour. It looked really effective when it was shining in the sunlight. After we had finished we put Lucy to rest in the peaceful (smelly) offal hole!

When My Hockey Stick Broke

When I first decided to play hockey Granddad and Nana bought me a hockey stick at the warehouse. After four games of hard hitting my hockey stick cracked around the toe and there was another crack coming under the toe and around the base. Also the turf was really wearing away the bottom of my stick. My advice is DON’T BUY WAREHOUSE HOCKEY STICKS! That’s about all I can say about them because there is no other way to put it but, they are crap and I would not buy another one. Grandad has since bought me a new 250 dollar GRAYS hockey stick that is 60%carbon fibre, 5% Aramid and 35% fibreglass. It is a really good stick to play with.

When I Made The Taranaki Under13 Hockey Team

On Saturday we played in the Pennington cup, which was north versus central. There was a girl’s team, a mixed team and a boy’s team. We had to get selected. First of all I missed out on the boy’s team and was in the mixed team. When I scored three goals out of five in the mixed team I was asked if I wanted to join the boy’s team. Of course I said yes and went on the reserves bench. When they put me on I played the best hockey I have ever played. I stole heaps of balls and made some great passes. We ended up winning 3-2 with one penalty goal to us. I was really happy and when I went back to grandmas to stay the night Dad rung me to tell me that I had been selected in the Taranaki hockey team. I shouted out to granddad Yeah I’m in the team, I’m in the Taranaki hockey team! I was over the moon because I had only played 4 games and had practices in between. We have to go to Napier to play a tournament there and it will be fun.
