Tree Planting

On Tuesday Room 4 went tree planting. My partner was Leroy, so I went and got a spade. We started  digging a hole in the ground. Then Leroy got the mats to put around the tree, the bamboo, and a cover to make sure no different animals get in to kill the the trees. Then we found a different tree. Leroy dug the hole, then I put the tree in with the equipment. We did 10 trees this time. By Sateki



I went tree planting today. My partner was Charlie. He is cool. He helped me. I dug a hole. I tapped the pot to get the plant out. It was pretty easy. Not everyone thought it was easy. It was hot up there. I didn't know where to put my jersey because if i put it on the ground it could get dirty. It was very muddy. It was awesome up there. By Connor..



Once me and Corban put the spade in the ground and stood on it with both feet and the spade sort of leaned. It was fun. By Griffin.


The hardest place to dig was this grass patch in a pile of sticks, but the most hard part about it was putting in the plant because when I got the plant in I had dug it in too deeply. By Corban



Tree planting was really messy and  muddy and we had lots of fun! We had a buddy. My buddy was Esther. She was funny. We had a lot of fun she made me giggle the whole time. AND she made me dug all the holes! we only planted three trees then we stopped because Connor was making us laugh and he sat on a prickle. By Kate

Maori Language Week



On the Friday of Maori language week spent the whole day doing Harakeke, Kowhaiwhai patterns, making Rakau Sticks and Poi. It was great. Danielle's favorite was poi making. Esther's was Harakeke. Leroy also enjoyed Harakeke, and Nicholas liked the Kowhaiwhai patterns. Caitlyn and Kyla liked the Rakau sticks because you got to decorate them yourself.
