Aim: To learn how to plant and different ways to plant, also to learn how to listen to instructions.

On Wednesday at 9:30am we went on a school trip to Charles-worth reserve, Charles-worth reserve is a place that plants only native. On this trip we had three classes that were in a group called Tāne Māhuta. Tāne Māhuta was all about planting and picking up rubbish.

When we got to Charles-worth reserve, first we had some morning tea and had a little play around. Secondly we walked 5 mins in land to where we were going to plants our natives. For planting we were in group of 3 or 4. Per group was one shovel and a pair of gloves (If you wanted them). Then we started planting our natives and then we fixed up holes in the ground that were made by us. Thirdly we moved to another spot and started planting there and then fixed up holes in the ground that were made by us. We planted over 200 natives and also we found heaps of crab crawling around.

Fourthly after planting over 200 natives we walked back to where we started, we had some lunch and also had a play around. Fifthly we walked back to the bus and vans, we went to Mitre 10 Mega to pick up rubbish in around the bush behind the store. Then after going to Mitre 10 Mega to pick up rubbish, we walked back to the bus and van, we drove back to school and then went home.
