Our Visit to Nash's Shearing Shed

Shearing a Sheep by Tom
Room 2 and Room 1 went to the Nash's to watch a sheep getting shorn.
First Mr Nash had a trick on us.
"Do we need some scissors?" he said.
And we said, "No!"
"Do we need clippers?"
We said, "No!"
"Do we need these?"
We said, "Yes!"
Next he got Snowy out. First he sheared her belly, then her neck, then her leg. Finally he shore her back.
It was a funny day. We went back to school.
Monty's Dad Shears a Sheep by Monty
On Tuesday Room 1 and 2 went in cars to my farm. We went because we are learning about wool.
When we got there my dad said why you have to shear a sheep.
Next he sheared Snowy. After that he shore the belly. Next he sheared the leg. After that he shore the head. It looked flat. First he did the side and then the other side. Later he did the last part. Then the sheep turned pink. It looked weird. After that we asked questions. The questions were very good. Next I said, "Careful. Don't cut his head off."
Then we went to school. I had a funny day at my dad's house.
