A visit from "The Spinning Lady"

Room 9 children have been interested in learning more about sheep farming and wool production as part of our "Kiwi as" study.

On Tuesday we were very lucky to have a visit from Mrs. Evanswalsh. She showed us how to spin wool.

Thank you very much for coming to Room 9 Mrs Evanswalsh!

Here are some of the stories we wrote about the visit.
