The story of milk!

We are learning all about milk this term as part of our Integrated Studies 'From Field to Table'.  This week we are looking at the process of what happens to the milk once it leaves the farm and heads to the factory.  Fonterra's website has some great information about this so we thought we would share it here.  Just click on the picture above to visit the website and learn more!

Our milking adventure!

We are learning about milk and the process of how it is made.  Just for fun today, we decided to try and see what it was like to milk a cow...using a glove as the udder!  We filled our gloves with water and tied a knot in the top before poking a small hole in the fingers/teats.  We took turns to milk our 'cows' out on the balcony outside our room.  What a crazy time, but oh so much fun!!
