Hi, all, Ayshah here with your Tuesday Newsround update! | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
First up, homework and a school that does it differently. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Most schools do homework, but some think primary | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
schools should scrap it. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
Jenny's been to a school that swapped spellings | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
and sums for other things. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:04 | |
I went on a conker walk. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
I fit my entire body through a piece of a | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
full A4 paper. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
I designed my own board game. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
I made a cake from scratch. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
These might sound like fun things you do on a weekend, but they are | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
actually homework tasks set by the headteacher at this primary | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
school in Yorkshire, where they can pick | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
If you're not too busy after doing all that homework, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
how about a spot of cow-riding? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Yes, that's right, cow-riding! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
I know, sounds udderly ridiculous to me. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
But that's what one girl in New Zealand is doing. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Take a look at this. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
This is Hannah Simpson. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
As an 11-year-old, she dreamed of having a | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
horse, but when her parents said no, she moved onto the next best thing | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
and jumped on a cow instead. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
I've always loved adventure, so I think | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
it was an idea from my younger brother to ride the cow, so I just | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
jumped on and away we went. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
Hannah lives on a dairy farm in New Zealand | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
and became instant friends with Swiss brown cow, Lilac. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
The unusual pair are common sight in the local | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
town as they go about their daily rides. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
Hannah has even taught Lilac to jump! | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
OK, that's just milking it. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
Although she doesn't always behave herself. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
We're not finished! | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Come here. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
It depends on her mood, I guess. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
Sometimes she loves going up the road and down the river. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
She gets bored, I think, on the farm. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Cow riding may be unusual, but it is all good for Lilac. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
I don't think it will do any harm to the cow, I think | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
it's very good for the cow to get out and about and do something | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
different. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
Hannah's now 18 and these two best friends are | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
inseparable. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:30 | |
I couldn't imagine ever getting rid of Lilac. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
She's definitely not for sale. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
You don't need a cow calculator to work out | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
that Lilac really is outstanding in her field. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Moo! | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
That's all from me and the team today, go online to see our weather | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
