Is there any more questions that you would like me to ask my Mum about Blue Cow?
Hello Sophie. We've recently started looking at your school blog and when I saw your title "Introducing Blue Cow" I was instantly tempted to click on your blog. I imagined it might be some crazy art project you were embarking on and I visualised your class either painting real cows out in a paddock, or you drawing blue cows in class. It also made me think about how some elderly women put a 'blue' rinse in their white hair.
ReplyDeleteI teach in a small rural school in North Otago and there are more and more cows as many of the sheep farms have converted to dairying. I will ask my class tomorrow whether any of them know what a 'blue' cow is.
Three of the children enjoy showing their calves at the local A&P Shows so I think they will be interested in following your blog. I love the way you have set out your post with questions and answers.
