A busy week

Our Planting Day.

On the 8th of August, on a beautiful

Monday, Oueroa School had a planting day.

The sun was blazing down on us as we prepared for the planting day.

I think that the school has been waiting for this day. 

The whole entire school has grown these plants from seeds which brings back the history of our special little school (which means that when you come back you can say “I planted that tree ‘and “I grew that tree”.)

The school loves to get involved in planting trees and native plants.

After morning tea the school met by the steps where we were going to plant.

Megan, our planting coordinator, demonstrated how to plant Ringa Ringa Lilies. After the demonstration we got stuck into planting.

Gary brought his hole digger and he dug all of the holes before we got to planting the plants. So we saved alot of time not digging holes and we got more plants planted. We planted a lot of trees. We thanked Gary a lot.

We planted along by the top retaining wall so it looks tidy. We planted along the bank down to the bottom pine area. It made the school look more awesome than it already was. It took one whole day to finish the project     

She is right into our planting, just like I said

Thanks to Kim, we got cupcakes, juice and chocolate after all of our hard work.

Thank you Kim and thank you to everyone who helped out on that day. The school really appreciated it.

That was the coolest planting day ever.
