WINDMILL Preparation • Collect pictures of Australian windmills. Presentation • Say the rhyme with the actions for the class. • The class claps the beat while saying the rhyme. • The class says the rhyme with the actions. Additional activities/information • Share the following information with the class. • Why does a farmer need a windmill? A farmer needs to pump water from under the ground for his/her stock to drink and to irrigate his/her property. • How does a windmill go around? The wind turns the blades of the windmill around; the wind creates energy which drives the blades. • How does a farmer use wind energy? A farmer uses this wind energy to pump water from the ground into dams, water tanks and drinking troughs for thirsty animals. • Read the following story to the class. The students could then make up or talk about their own windmill stories. WINDMILL ‘Nearly there Josie’, said Aunty, as they turned off the main road and drove along the winding bush track to the farm. The two kelpies, Tia and Bailey, jumped off the veranda and rushed to the car, barking and wagging their tails. ‘Kettle’s on!’ said Uncle as he kissed Aunty and hugged Josie. Josie was eight years old and this was her fi rst visit by herself to the farm. ‘I’m going to check the windmills this afternoon’, said Uncle. ‘Would you like to come Josie?’ ‘Yes, please’, said Josie, and after lunch they set off in the ute over the paddocks. ‘How many windmills have you got, Uncle?’ asked Josie. ‘We’ve got two windmills’, said Uncle. ‘One windmill for each dam.’ Josie had never seen a windmill. ‘They are so high’, she said. ‘Our windmills are about eight metres high’, said Uncle. ‘That’s about as high as the power post in front of your house in the city. On a farm a windmill has to be the right height for the right wind.’ ‘Who looks after the windmills?’ asked Josie. ‘I check them regularly’, said Uncle. ‘If something’s not working properly I take my tools up and fi x it.’ ‘Is it scary up there?’ asked Josie. ‘It’s scary when the wind changes’, said Uncle. ‘I have to hang on with everything, including my toes and fi ngernails!’ ©R.I.C.

In the distance across the paddocks she could hear the windmills turning ... turning ... turning ... in the wind. I can dance the barramundi 64 R.I.C.
