TIMBOON P-12 School has a new addition to the cohort – Milky Way.
Students in grade 3-4 have competed a Paddock to Plate unit which concluded with the production of a rather unique bovine, dubbed ‘Milky Way’.
Timboon Agriculture Project (TAP) co-ordinator Andrea Vallance said Dairy Australia’s ‘Picasso Cow’ competition encourages students to record their understanding of all things dairy on a life size fibreglass cow which is then decorated to depict either farm to plate or health and nutrition.
“To compliment her two existing herd mates the students chose the farm to plate option focussing on the technology and innovation that they discovered during their classroom investigations and excursions,” she said.
“A learning journal and powerpoint was supplied as our competition entry to demonstrate all the learning that took place over the term.
“Thank you to the many people who helped inspire and educate our students, Shannara Drake from Bunnings Warrnambool for supplying the paint, Ashley Cook, Shane Coates and Nathan Lawson from Timboon Motors for Milky’s protective spraypaint coat and Tania Ludders from Everycow for hercow collar.”
Students Lizzie and Ethan said they had “so much fun” painting Milky Way.
They said it had been a “great experience”.
