The student took a bus trip with classmates to Tamaki Street Reserve where they met with Richard and Charlotte from Nelmac to learn how to plant trees. The group dug holes, removed weeds and roots, and planted 267 trees under the guidance of Richard and Charlotte. The student had help digging holes from a parent but enjoyed the process of planting trees.

2. Can you guess?
• We got on a bus
• The driver drove us to Tamaki street
• We all met Richard and Charlotte
members of Nelmac
• They taught us how to plant trees
• Can you guess where we went?

3. There were lots
of worms in the
soil. Richard told
me that one of
the worms was
about 12cm. Do
you that if you
cut a worm in half
both sides would
still survive
because there
brain goes
through the
whole of there
body

5. • Richard told us that when
we planted a plant we had
to pick the roots out so
they anchored the plant
to the ground

6. Since I don’t
particually like digging
the
holes for the plant so
Susan ,Katrina's mum
dug them for me then
I planted the plants.
It worked very well

7. All together we planted
267 plants

8. • We all had a really great day tree
planting
• Thank you Richard and Charlotte for
making the day possible
