Robotic Sheds

Today I'm going to talk about robotic sheds. Robotic sheds are when a robot puts the cups onto the cows udders. There is not many robotic sheds in New Zealand. We watched  this video and found out heaps about robotic sheds e.g how the robots put the cups on the teats and the farmer still works although there is robot working. Watch this video.

This term room 9 has been studying a cows digestive system hear Is a picture.

Soon we will be going to a farm.

In Room 9 we have been learning about dairy farms. We have learnt about the types of cows around the world. In India the people think cows are special, so if a cow sits in the middle of the road for an hour, the person in the car has to wait until the cow decides to move. Friesians and Jersey cows are the most popular milking cows in the world!

Rotary Sheds

For our topic we learnt about rotary sheds, herring bone sheds and robotic farms. Today i'm going to talk about rotary sheds. The Cows walk onto a revolving circular platform in a continuous flow, and are milked in a single rotation. At the end of the cycle a machine removes the cups and the cow backs out of the platform. Cows are more settled in a rotary shed unlike a herring bone shed, as each animal has its own space and there is less jostling- so the productivity  can be higher. By Amanda-Rose

Writing

In class we have been doing letter writing. We wrote letters to the Winton Rotary Club to say thank you for the dictionaries that they gave to the Year 4s. The last letter we wrote is to say thank you to anyone that we wanted.

Herring Bone Sheds

For our topic we have been looking at Herring Bone sheds, rotary sheds and robotic milking today i`m going to talk about herring bone sheds. In 1952 they were invented. In a herring bone shed, the farmers work in a pit below and no longer has to bend down to attach and detach the cups. The cows can line up on the left side or the right side.By Amanda-Rose

"From Moo to you"

Here are some calves.

For the last couple of weeks for our topic "from moo to you" we learnt about how a cow works. Here are some photos... here is a website we go on to... www.Rosiesworld.co.nz. By Amanda-Rose

From Moo to you

In room 9 we have been learning about the process of milking cows. We have been learning about the Rotary Shed. First the farmer shifts the cows by following them down the lane. The cows are held in the yard and when the farmer wants more cows in the milking shed, the electronic gate lets the cows know to move into the shed. This is just a little piece of information we have learnt. Here are our title pages. By Beth A, Matthew M and Phoebe C.

Our hero "the Story of George"

In reading we did a story it is called the story of George.  George was a Jack Russel terrier who lived in Manaia, a small Taranaki town. He was a friendly little dog, who enjoyed his morning walk to the shops with his owner. One Sunday, the five children who lived next door went to the diary. Luckily for them George went along, too. One their way they faced a attack from pit bulls.  By Amanda-Rose.  Here are some photos...

This is George.

This is the bravery medal.

Ben's Experiment

Last term in class we were studying the Water Cycle. Our class learnt about evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. We had a question and we wondered if the salt gets evaporated with the sea water. Ben decided that he wanted to go home and find out if salt evaporated with the sea water.

Ben put water into a cup with salt and left it in the sun to evaporate. He found out after the water had evaporated that the salt was left behind. This answered our question which was 'Does salt evaporate up with the sea water?

Ben shared his results and we found out that salt does not evaporate.

Here are some photos from Ben's Experiment

Left over salt when water evaporated.
