The latest animal team in our school is the sheep team, where students from grades 8 to 13 speak English while they care and learn about the sheep.
We have to change the water, refill the rack and clean the barn every day for the health of the sheep. Once a week we meet and we organize things with our tutors Kirsten and Anne. We also learn about the sheep, for instance how to defense against ram attacks and how the digestion of a sheep works.
At this moment we have got three Ouessant sheep: A black sheep called Ewe and a white ewe called Clairchen with her daughter Chloé.
They live in a great barn we built for them. They can walk through the whole Fachwerk and graze day and night.
Ouessant sheep are from the island of Ouessant, off the coast of Brittany and they are bred for wool production. They are between 45 cm and 49 cm tall and normally have a black fleece.
This is how we use the wool: We shear our sheep… 
…we wash and dry the wool… 
… and we comb the wool… 
…so it‘s fluffy. 
We can also dye the wool. 
That‘s easily done with food dye… 
…you also use for Easter eggs. 
Then we felt the wool. 
Ta-da!!!
