Planting Day

 Today my class and i left to go to lake Gem to do some planting.                                                                We planted:                                                                                                                                              Kānuka,                                                                                                                                                Manuka,                                                                                                                                                    cabbage,                                                                                                                                                           & karaka.

We started by driving with chosen parents to go to the lake, than some people lended us shovels. I started by digging a hole. The hole was one foot deep (30 cm), gently squeezing the plastic bottles so the plant and dirt loosened then i placed the plant gently inside of the hole and compacted dirt around it. The most common plant i think was kānuka which was much nicer than the manuka with all the spines after the one and a half hours of planting the teacher kindly shared some iceblocks. I got orange. I went to get a drink before my taking photos infront of the large tree stump.

Some kids were kind enough to share thier lunch with me and man was thier a banquet.

Crackers check

After the lunch we all headed back to school. The teacher quickly bought some lollies at the shop.
