2. Introduction
On Monday the 19th of August we went to Tamaki reserve to
plant trees. We had a lot of fun and our total of the trees
we planted were 227. There were a lot of worms and one of
us even broke a spade!
3. Worms, worms, worms!
There was lots of worms at
Tamaki reserve. Even
though worms are squiggly
and slimy, they make the
soil healthy. So we collected
all the worms we could see
to put in our holes for our
trees.
4. Richard the instructor
At Tamaki reserve we had
to go down a steep hill.
When we arrived at the
bottom of the hill the
instructor, Richard, showed
us how to plant the trees
properly.
5. Spacing out the trees
When we planted the
trees, we had to find a
yellow dot to dig on. We did
that because we didn’t want
the field to get too dense
when the trees grew big.
6. Picking on the roots
After we dug the hole and
got the plant out of the
plastic pot, we picked out
the roots to make them
grow deep and strong into
the soil.
7. Total of the planted trees
The total of the trees we
had planted was 227. We
collected all the plastic pots
that were left on the ground
after planting the trees.
Jayden C even snapped a
shovel while digging on the
ground!
8. Conclusion
We had a lot of fun planting the trees at Tamaki reserve.
Even though we were tired and grubby, we loved it at
Tamaki reserve, and wish to do it again.
