Bobbys old lady


As I watched the woman crouch down, I could see she was as ancient as the universe. “How long have you been standing there?” I wondered as I caught the eye of the crumpled old lady. It was clear from her stare that she knew exactly what I had done. She had rich indigo velvet, folded carefully to frame the face. Her cracked lips furled around her gums where teeth once stood. I could see her keen eyes, alight with mischievous youth.
As I looked into her eyes there were deep channels of time, etched into a wizened surface.

Milk in schools.

This year Fonterra brought Pt England School the milk in school programme.

Fonterra milk for schools is a programme for school children to get milk every day at school. Each week a milk truck comes to the school with boxes which get put in the fridge one person from every class takes enough milk from the box for their classroom every student gets a carton of milk to drink. Once you drink it dry you need to fold it flat it up and put it in the recycling bin.

The reason why milk is important. Because it will hydrate you and its a bit like Powerade or Hydrate Zero and it will make your bones strong.
