ARTE Planting day

23 June 2021 WALT: Write an incredible Recount Arbor Day at Lake Ngatu

On Tuesday the whole school went to Lake Ngatu to plant trees around the environment and proofing are skills when we plant trees, flax. We got there quick walking and when we got there I felt excited and was ready to start but I was in shock when one of the Northland Regional Councilman .

I was grouped with Hemi, Levi, Kaiora and the person digging was Mrs Jujnovich. She was digging, then a Northland Regional Councilman and another man from Ngai Takoto were helping us with digging.  When we started I smelt the juicy, sweet smell of cooking sausage sizzle.  The entire school was planting 10 each and altogether we had approximately 2000 plants in the ground. I was amazed and surprised that we planted 2000 plants. That's insane and the plant was in a container and when we squashed it it felt like it was sturdy like a rock. I was struggling to pull it out so Mrs Jujnovich was stepping on it softly. The mud was like quick-sand and squashed when I pushed the mud down. 

After planting we went back to school. On the way we made a tunnel to cheer the parents for helping us with this Project. I had a fantastic day and so did everyone else as well.  My favourite part of the day was cheering the parents, because they deserved it.
