The Loneliest Sheep
Fiona, known as Britain's loneliest sheep, was discovered at the base of a remote 250-metre cliff in Scotland where she had been stranded for at least two years. In November 2023, a brave group of five farmers used a winch and a special hammock to rescue her. Because she hadn't been shorn in years, Fiona's fleece was massive and weighed 9 kilograms! After her rescue, she was finally given a haircut and moved to a cozy new home at a farm park. Learn more!
Wee Ones
To rescue Fiona, 3 farmers were lowered down the cliff and 2 farmers stayed at the top to operate the winch. How many farmers were in the rescue group in total? Count on from 3!
Little Kids
Fiona lived alone for 2 years. If each year has 4 seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter), how many seasons did Fiona spend by herself at the bottom of the cliff?
Big Kids
The cliff was 250 metres high. If the farmers pulled Fiona up 10 metres every minute, how many minutes did it take for her to reach the top?
The Sky's the Limit
Without her wool, Fiona weighed 92 kilograms. Her wool weighed 9 kilograms. What was Fiona's total weight, including her wool, before her haircut? What percentage of her total weight was just the wool? Round your percentage to the nearest whole number.
