The Ratapiko School Lamb and Calf day was held on Tuesday, October 11 and was very successful, says principal Lisa Hill.
She says the event, held in the school grounds had one calf and many lambs entered, with four children competing in the senior section, five in the junior andfive in the preschool.
As well as the lamb and calf rearing, there were also three classroom displays - vegetable creations, a floral arrangement in an unusual vessel and rock paintings. Lisa says all of these were done at school by the youngsters, and were judged by three members of the school community. She says the judges loved all the creativity and effort on show.
"They were impressed by all the creations, especially the juniors considering they were all done unassisted."
Parents, friends and whanau watched the lamb judging and look at classroom displays, before enjoying a barbecue lunch, prize-giving and a range of auctions.
