We had this idea for painting Bessie… one side would be painted to represent the rural side of dairy, like the cattle and farming. The other would represent the urban part of dairy, including factories and consumption. So with this in mind, we started to paint Bessie this week. The students enjoyed working together to paint green cows (yes, GREEN!) on rolling green hills with a beautiful clear blue sky. Following our ideas for merging rural with city, we painted trees... but not ordinary green trees! We created new species of trees, such as the Cheese Tree, which comes in two varieties, the Swiss and the Edam, and the Ice Cream Tree, which also comes in two types, the Paddle Pop and the Cone. Mmm, they look so delicious!
We also took Bessie to the office so she could meet some of the staff. Unfortunately she was wearing the wrong shoes, and she got in trouble with one of our deputies, Mr Anderson. I don’t think she’ll be wearing the wrong shoes again!
Bessie wanted to check out our library, so, after struggling to get her up the stairs, we took her there. She went straight to the computer to search for the books she wanted. After locating the agriculture books, she enjoyed reading about cows and other livestock. Then we introduced her to our librarians, who scanned the books for her to borrow them.
