This week our students attended our annual 'Trees for Survival' native tree planting trip.
We have been watering and nurturing these native trees since we received them as tiny seedlings last August.
We returned to the same farm as last year to plant them. This was great as we got to see how last years trees have progressed.

Our hard working group of students were also joined by some members of our local residential home - Bruce McLaren Retirement Village. We also had Cate Jessep our fabulous sustainable schools coordinator join in too!
We planted mānuka, harakeke (flax), tī kōuka (cabbage trees) and some native grasses. We planted over 400 trees! It was hard going as we were on a muddy slope. The farmers dog, Mabel, had a fantastic time joining in too!
I loved seeing all the farm animals (Rianka)
I liked working together to plant trees (Aira)
It was fun planting different trees and learning the names of them. (Devin)
The dog was so cute! And seeing all the other farm animals was fun too! (Ciska)
