The Pharazyn Reserve

Room 6 went down to Pharazyn Reserve to plant native trees to help native birds have a place to live The reserve is near Waikanae down by Peka Peka.

We put the plant in the hole and we got the soil from on the side, from the grassy patch.  We held the side of the black plastic bag and slowly and carefully pulled it.  Then we put the plant into the hole.  Next we buried the tablet and covered the roots with soil.  We squashed the soil so the roots weren’t exposed to the air.   The little tablet feeds it for a whole year.  Soon it was time to head back to school.  I was on the bus with Sam and Tawai.

Our whole class have a good day and we all  want to go back and do more next year.
