Ben has a cockateel at home called 'Bo'.  Do you have an animal at home that you have to take care of? How do you care for your pet?

Esme's Lamb

Congratulations to Esme for looking after your lamb and doing so well at our Livestock Day.  Look at all the ribbons Daisy won.   What did you notice when we walked around yesterday? (Remember to use your senses - what did you see, hear, smell?)
