This time at home is an excellent opportunity for Room 4 students to spend time on their individual passion projects. Todays post is a shout out to James Redpath who has completed his passion project hours. I am super proud of the work James has spent on his project; he is a passionate young farmer who decided to dedicate his hours, training a young heading dog.
James instigated some help from a local woman, Sam Shaw, who is an accomplished dog trialist. He spent two sessions working with her getting valuable tips on working a young dog, giving clear demands and getting good firm control. He has been helping out with yard work and mustering on his farm, taking what he learnt into his training hours. Amazing work James.
Other room 4 students are chipping away at their projects learning some amazing life skills such as welding, butchering, gaining confidence with horse riding, crutching sheep, fencing, wood work, carving, learning sign language, training pets, growing native seedlings, knitting and cooking.
Keep up the awesome mahi Room 4.
