Arbor Day at Lake Ngatu
Yesterday my whole school went tree planting at Lake Ngatu for the awesome Arbor day. The way we were transported from the school was by foot. On the way my best friend Millan and I were being silly to entertain each other. Even though it doesn't take long from the school to Lake Ngatu. My favourite part was planting the trees and the delicious hot dogs.
Once our school had made it to the lake we had to sit down on the grass for 10 minutes until Cleo and Donne stood up to do the mihi and karakia. After that Some of the workers who were helping us did a little Mihi. A mihi is a speech by the way. Then we started planting and my group was Millan, my Nan, Tumme, Sophia and I. We planted approximately 40 plants altogether. There were about 1600 plants and the plants were called manuka, kanuka and harakeke. The process of planting is: firstly you grab the plants from the pot, you can also squeeze it if you can’t get it out. Secondly you dig the hole and make sure the plant top of the is ground level. Thirdly you place plant in the hole and cover the edges up with dirt. It should take about three minutes.
Once all the plants were gone everyone made a magnificent line for a hot dog and I had two both with mustard and tomato sauce. On the way back to school we made a tunnel and clapped as all the parents walked through the human tunnel. Overall, we all had a fabulous day from start to finish.
