cows to carton-the journey of milk
- What was Sophie’s project about, and why was it important to her? Sophie’s family ran a modern dairy farm. She had
always known that milk came from cows, but she didn’t know the full story until she joined her school’s science and literacy project Farm to Table.
- What happens to milk immediately after it is collected
from cows? The fresh milk flowed into a refrigerated and storage tank and it keeps it safe till its cellared.
- Why is it important to store milk in refrigerated tanks before transportation? Because it keeps it safe.
- What role does the milk tanker driver play in ensuring milk safety? The driver tested the milk for
safety, temperature, and quality before pumping it into the truck.
- What is pasteurisation, and why is it necessary? pasteurised, which meant it was heated quickly to kill bacteria, then cooled.
- Why is milk homogenised before bottling? homogenised — a process that breaks down fat so it stays mixed evenly.
- What did Sophie find surprising about the processing plant?The next day, Sophie visited the processing plant on a class trip.
- How is the milk distributed after it’s packaged? Sophie watched machines fill hundreds of bottles and cartons.
- What does the story suggest about the teamwork involved in milk production? Milk is delivered to supermarkets and schools across the country.
- How might this story change the way you think about everyday foods like milk? It doesn’t change the way I think.I’ll still drink milk.
my holidays
On my holiday I had to pick up horse poo. I picked up horse poo in 5 different paddocks. I have 5 horses and their names are koha katie Pepeha mela and lux. I didn’t want to do it but I had to.
There was me, my mum, my two little sisters named Paris and kura. and some other girls named Ariel and nizzoni. Kura tried acting cool in front of the girls. she was being mean to Paris and my mum told her to cut it out. and she called my mum the b word kura whispered it. but she does not whisper quietly. She whispers loud. so I knew if i could hear it then my mum could. Then mum chased my sister around the paddock. I was trying my best not to laugh. because if my mum sees or hears me then I’m next.
Like I said, I did not wanna do it. But my mum made me do it. My sisters wanted to do it though. It was hard and boring i keeped on squashing the horse poo. and After me Paris and Kura got McDonalds. i got a big mac, a large fanta no ice with chips. and my sisters got the same. my mum got 2 cheese burgers and a big mac chips. and a large fanta no ice and that was it.
