planting at Lake Gem , lake ngatu

 yesterday my whole class went to lake Gem which is behind Lake ngatu for planting.We did this because we were learning about sustainability and we wanted to add more natives around our environment.So we added Mānuka,kānuka and cabbage/tī kōuka and harekeke/flax.To know if it is a Mānuka or kānuka, a kānuka has soft leaves and a Mānuka has spiky leaves.

The first plants me and my friends stared with way the ones on the bottom which was harekeke/flax.There was this man who was digging and the harekeke/flax was in pots.We worked our way up and then we planted  Mānuka. It wasn't  that mamae/sore.

Then I was very wera/hot so i got my self  a bottle of  wai/water. I went where i put my bag well i was walking there i felt a māeke/cold heavy wind going straight past me well i was walking.

When the mahi/job was done we took lots of group photo and we had tina/lunch and here is a photo from yesterday.

Rainforest learning week 9

In kakapo we have been creating poster and slide  about the Rainforest because the guy name  prince EA inspired us to describing what we are doing wrong to the Amazon  Rainforest .We had to do this so others will know that we are destroying a forest that is beautiful and that has the most animal and trees that are living and growing  in it.

Almost everyday people are cutting the trees down and planting palm trees for this oil name palm oil.People say that they are planting palm trees because palm oil is cheaper so they add it to chocolate,shampoo and other things.

The Amazon Rainforest covers the surface up to 2% and all of the Rainforest together is 13% of the Earth surface. If we had no trees there be no oxygen and no oxygen mean no us and life.

The only way to survive is to plant a protect our tree and save the  planet.
