AHVISE Creative Kids Comp Winners – February 2019

by AHVISE

Dear Valued AHVISE Community,

For our second creative kid’s competition, we wanted to know why the kids loved where they live. The task was to write a poem or story along with a drawing or a photograph. This competition we have chosen 2 winners, Georgie & Brianna who are also sisters. Below, we have included their creative poems pictures, enjoy.

Why I Like Living at My Home

By Brianna Spurdle

Working hard all day in the sun.

Horses are eager to get the work done.

Yarding the weaners for the cold night ahead.

I say goodnight and head off to bed.

Life-like stories happen and are told.

I’m ready for the next day to unfold.

Killing my school work so I can go play.

Eager to go exploring today.

Life on a station is never really, easy.

It always has obstacles that aren’t easy-peasy.

Very dirty and tired we come in at night.

I sit at the fire to watch it ignite.

Never is there a dull moment at home.

Give me ten reasons why its dull, have a go!

Although it is hard in the drought on our family.

Time will fly by and we’ll soon all be happy.

My home is the best, I will tell you right now.

Yes, it is true you don’t need to ask how.

Home is the best with its trees and its grass.

Our family will protect it like bullet proof glass.

My friends are the horses, the dogs and the cattle.

Everyone knows that I LOVE MY HOME!

My Home

By Georgie Spurdle

At the end of a gravel road,

Waits the friendly lights of home

Shining through the whispering trees,

Rustling secrets in the leaves.

Cattle mooing,

A storm brewing.

Horses neighing,

Dogs playing.

That’s my home.

Catch the horses, saddle up,

Hop on and watch they don’t buck

Trot off, steady now,

To go and help gather the cows.

Men yelling,

Cattle for selling,

Flies buzzing,

Calves fussing.

That’s my home.

Wake up early, 5 o’clock,

Have some breakfast, chop chop.

Hop in the ute, hold on tight

Make sure the fences are all right.

Pliers cutting,

Dad muttering,

Wire bending,

Mum mending.

That’s my home.

Sunset staining the western sky,

Curlew calling its mournful cry,

Have some dinner, jump into bed,

To go and rest my weary head.

Cows are sleeping,

 horses are dozing,

dingoes are howling,

And the dogs are snoring.

That’s my Home.

New AHVISE Kids Comp October 2018 – For all registered families & their kids!

by Manager

Dear valued AHVISE community,

The AHVISE Team has been working hard to brainstorm new ideas and ways to give back to our families and volunteers. We recently launched our Virtual Classrooms as an easy alternative for both parties to communicate in regards to the kids school work and education.

However, we noticed the virtual classrooms haven’t had that much use and we completely understand that new technology and platforms can be intimidating. We also experience this. Instead, we’ve found a way that we could make using new technology fun and exciting. We have decided to host our first ever competition and giveaway for the kids.

The AHVISE Team has decided we want to see more from the kids, that’s why we’re hosting a drawing competition! We encourage the kids to draw us a picture of what life on the farm is like and write a short blurb on what their picture is about.  

We want to emphasize that everyone who submits a picture to us is a winner to us at AHVISE and this is just a fun way to build confidence in the kids. We plan on hosting regular fun competitions for the kids to get involved in and show us their talents.

All the drawings we receive from our AHVISE kids will be posted on our Facebook & Instagram accounts so we can showcase the talent for the whole community to see. Please note if we have been advised not to post the pictures we will respect your wishes.

Stay tuned for more details.

Make sure to follow us on Facebook & Instagram to keep up with the latest at AHVISE!
