Back at school on Monday, the students were given the task of writing about the Golden Shears through the eyes of the sheep. These fantastic stories are displayed with pride on our classroom windows and are attached below for your pleasure.
Last Friday I was happily bouncing on
my sheep tramp when some man came and grabbed me and shoved me in the back of a
truck with all my baatastic friends. I was wondering where we were going then I
heard the other sheep talking about the Golden Shears. The first thing that
came into my head was “Yay I’m going to be on TV. I' been on the Ellen show but
never the Golden Shears!” When we got there my friends were frightened I was so
happy until……..
I was shoved in a pen with all the
other sheep, obviously they hadn’t taken a shower in the last couple of days, pehewwie.
When I got out there on the stage, it was my time to shine. I was just so
relaxed that my guy got the fastest time and I got all the paparazzi and I got
yelled at “ Go 36 Go 36” as that was my number. After I went back in to the pen
with my baaaautifal skin with not a scratch. When I got back to the pen there
were all those smelly sheep that smelt really baaad. I did a little kick and
victory dance then it was back to the barn for me. That was the best day
of my life !!!

Last Friday I was happily mucking
around in my paddock. Then I heard this noise, I wasn’t quite sure what it was.
One minute later I was being chased around the paddock by this big muscly man and
that’s when I felt him grab me. He pushed me in to the truck and slammed the
door closed. Then we took off somewhere. I didn’t know where until we arrived
at the Golden Shears. I started to freak out because I knew what it
was because I had been there before because there is a lot of people there. That’s
when I got pulled out and onto the stage. The guy started to shear off my. I
felt him cut me and then send me down the shoot with blood running down the
side of my face. I was glad to be back at my paddock.
I was so scared and that day was the
worst day ever.

I was eating some grass in my paddock
then I was brutally attacked and shoved in a truck with my friends and some
other sheep. The next day we were in a different place then I was pulled up on
a stage - someone was ready to shear me! So I tried to run but then I got cut
on the eye and blood was oozing out.
There was blood all over me. Then this sharp object got pushed down my
legs all over my body till I had no more wool. I was so sad then he had
finished and shoved me down a hole it was so terrible so I ran to my mates and
they made fun of me. It was the worst day of my life.

Last Friday I was eating some grass
and then I got taken away and got shoved in a pen. I was grabbed by the neck by a person and
then they shore me as fast as they could.
Then they through me down a hole and
I slid down a ramp and I sprint around the corner and smashed into the fence.
As I came out with blood all over my
face and they shoved in a pen again and all these weird school kids from St Teresa’s
School started touching me. I thought “Why are they touching me? They
have no right to touch me!”
After they left I thought that the day was
over but as I thought that, a human being grabbed me and kicked me into the
truck again and when I got back I got butchered.

I knew today was going to be
different when me and my buddies were shoved into a truck. It was cramped,
smelly and hot, but after a while of bumping and baaing the truck pulled to a
stop and we were chased out into some weird metal field with a cover. It was
nothing like the soft green grass of home.
Then we were herded into a pen,
squished up with loads of other sheep. I tried to jump on someone else to get a
better view, but it baaed at me in annoyance, and shouted for me to get off
rudely.
I started to notice that sheep were
disappearing, and never coming back into our pen. My brother vanished, and soon
it was my turn! I was pulled into some kind of tiny metal tunnel. The walls
lifted up, and hands grabbed me. Lights shone in my eyes, and noise deafened
me. I tried to make a dive for it, but I was held back. Razors were brought to
my wool, and I felt my woolly coat begin to drop off as I was tipped upside
down.
To my relief, before long I was
shoved back where I came from, feeling lighter I was returned to my paddock,
and now munching on grass happily, recovering. That is, until next year!

Last Friday I was
eating my grass and then I got sheep napped and taken to the Golden Shears. I
was very scared when I saw my mates bleeding so I started to have a fit and
start running around.
It was my turn to go
and get shorn, I stayed calm. When I got shorn I got cut on the ear and I was
kicked back down a shute, into the kidnappers truck and got sent to the meat
works and got sold for meat.

Last Friday I was happily munching on my sweetly grown grass
in my paddock with all my sheep mates. Suddenly a huge block comes rushing
towards me and a two legged food bringer came rushing out and grabbed me. I yelled
“BAA!? BAAA! BAAAAA?!” The next thing I was next to a huge building I had not
seen before. I jumped on other sheep to see where I was. I was pushed in a room with only two legged
food bringers. I was terrified. One two legged
food bringer grabbed me and took me to a place where there was a lot of people,
he was holding me down tight. This big sharp shiny thing start to make a lot of
noise, next minute it was jabbing me in the stomach. Then I looked at myself
and all the wool was gone!!! I was shoved down a hole and then reunited with my
sheep mates. I leapt up with happiness…
then I got shoved back in a truck. Worst day of my life but… I’m freeeeeeee!

I
just woke up hearing the rumble of a truck coming up the drive way. It stops
and out comes some dude. He pulls down
the ramp and a dog chased me and my family up the ramp into the back of a
truck.
We
went down to the stadium where they were shearing and they shoved my friends
and family into the pens. One by one we got grabbed by the neck and got pulled
out on to the stage. The shearers started to shave us and we got nasty cuts all
over us. My family were crying and petrified.

Last Friday night I was chewing on some
grass in the paddock. The next thing I know I was in a truck with at least
another 100 of my bros. I was taken to a shed about to be shorn.
Then I went out to a stage thing and there
where heaps of people watching me being shorn. Next thing it was over. I went back with all the other shorn sheep and
they were all bleeding and crying. I had
a massive cut on my face it was pouring out blood I did not feel that good but
at least I won’t feel as hot.

Yesterday I was in the
paddock eating juicy grass yummy J
Nek minute a truck
pulled up and these mean looking dogs with big teeth, were chasing us in the
big smelly truck. When I got in the truck I didn’t know what would happen but
then the truck started to move and like in 5 minutes, we were at the Golden
Shears.
I have heard about this competition that my
friend Baa Baa Black Sheep told me about. So there I am in line getting pushed
and shoved and suddenly this man grabs me and put me in between his legs. I was
getting shorn. I felt so free and cool I was really happy…until my neck was
dripping blood. I could smell the blood
it stung so badly like a thousand needles stabbing me in that one spot. He
finished shearing me and I got shoved down a hole in the wall that led to a
ramp that I ran down so happy! Cut aside,
I was jumping in the air as happy as I could ever be and I got back on the
truck and l went home and I was eating sweet moist grass J yum yum yum Silvia and

I was
sitting in the paddock when a big truck pulled up and put us all in the back. We were taken to the Genesis recreation
stadium to the Golden Shears. We were
put in some yards out the back while we waited to be shorn. When it was my turn I thought it was a bit
rude how the man cut my hair then shoved me down the shute. I got cut on the face and I said man you
should tape up my bleeding face. In the
end I had to do it myself. Then we went
back on the truck with the kiwirail man on to the tracks. The other sheep went on the digger. Some of them were following the big truck
until we all got back to the farm.

On Friday at
the farm I was sitting in the paddock and there came a motorbike came up the
race the motorbike to the yards and there was a truck and a man. I did not know
where I was going to. There was two choices - I was going to the factory or to
get shorn at a new farm. We got to where we when going to and there were lots of
people, I thought to myself . And then I saw lots of sheep there that had been
shorn I thought to myself why are we here? Then I saw the ramp so I knew now that I was getting shorn
but what for? So we got a number and put it a pen for a while. Then it was my
turn to go into get shorn . I saw heaps of people I was scared and then I got
set it was fine because I had been there too many times before. But then I had a bad shearer and I got cut
and I was so angry with the shearer and I was bleeding badly but I got fixed
and then I was I get fixed and I was happy.
