A GROUP of schoolchildren in New Zealand have set up a website where you can follow the progress of ten lambs they have adopted.

The children from St Canices school in Westport have named their site Lambs Online (www.lambsonline.co.nz) and you can follow the progress of the lambs on their individual websites.

The lambs have also been 'adopted' by a group of Japanese schoolchildren from Westport's sister city so these children can keep an eye on the flock from afar.

You can follow the progress of each lamb through the eyes of the students as they keep an online diary for their woolly charges.
