environmentally planting

Today we were planting at Lake Gem our guide Karen was showing us the plants that we would be planting. But when we got there the plants were already laid when we got there. We were planting               Manuka,Kanuka,Karaka and heaps of others it was fun helping the environment but we had to make sure that we didn't step on any of the plants. There was also a huge tree stump that the class got on to take a photo of us all.

We also had some parents helping with the planting just encase it would take to long but it ended up quit quick I was surprised because there quit a lot of trees to do and there was more than one box of plants!

There was also another place that we were planting it was on the other side and we ended up get a photo with the yellow truck that was bringing in plants to be planted .

 As you can see that there were some people on the stump in the background and some on the back of the truck. It was really a fun thing to do then we had lunch next to the lake. I would love to go there again to do some more planting.

THE BRAIN

Cross country training review.

The last two weeks we've been doing cross country training.
We have been doing road run and beep test. The beep test is when every time the
teacher blows the whistle you have to run to the other side and there are stages that make it go faster and faster and the road run is when we run around town if your in the top ten you can do a second one! If you want to. 

I can't wait into cross country and I hope I'll enjoy and all of you two:)

What I want to learn about.

I think world is Important to learn about the world has a lot of places to
explore but our world is way smaller from space just imagine how small we would be.

I want to learn more about world war one and world war two.
I want to learn how to create things like phones to computer

At my School we mostly have to sets of task we have literacy and math
we do have a lot of mixed task on a contract we used to have just two contracts one math and one
literacy which was kind weird to me though but know we have mixed task on one contract which is
way better.

So what I want to learn is manics and technology.

About my holidays

In my holidays we didn't really do much out of home but I did help  my poppa with the farm.
On the farm it was so flooded some of the rain was so HARD! that some of our hill was coming off!
and it was so muddy. We had a bridge going across to another paddock and some of the bridge washed away so we can't go across there! Lucky there were no cows there.

We also feed a lot hay to the cows but I find it pretty hard to put the hay where it isn't wet.
The cows would always love the only when it wasn't wet and you would differently not put it in the
cow poo.

I also helped my Nana with the house an played a lot of games with my Nana like
scrabble.
