On the 17 of June Rm 5 went down to the field and planted some plants.
Here are some pictures:
This is Ms Cowsill doing a mihi ( speech ) to the gods while room 5 were listening. We also did a Karakia.
This is Mr Koko digging holes for our trees.
Here are some plants:
Mahoe (whiteywood)
Manuka
Te Kouka (cabbage tree)
After the planting we watered the plants.
Then we made a sign for the plant and did the vote.
So the winner was Evie's sign.
Please comment about what you felt when we sang the Karakia or what you felt when we planted the plant.
That looks like heaps of fun.

I remember planting the New Zealand native plants. I got to hold one of the plants.

ReplyDeleteI love all the different types of plants and I especially like the flax plant! I also thought I was very lucky to be able to take a plant down to the planting area! H.B
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to have pupils plant these beautiful native trees at school to celebrate Matariki. Everyone will enjoy seeing them grow too!
