Our Living Legends Experience

Last Friday Room 9 went to Living Legends.  We planted heaps of native trees.  Room 9 planted the first plant,  it was really cool we were chosen specially.  We were given these little fertilizer discs to put in the bottom of the holes where the plants will grow happily.  We planted 1000 trees and we ran out of fertilizer luckily they had some spare! We had to get our hands dirty because we had to put our hands deep in the holes where the roots will spread.  There were a lot of spiders, one landed on Arnia's hand and she freaked out.  There were a lot of worms in the holes but that is good because they help the plants grow.  The trees were all natives so when they are fully grown there will be a beautiful native forest/bush where the birds will be able to nest and breed and be safe in our environment.  The kids in Otatara will be able to play in the bush and climb the strong trees that grow in that forest/bush and it will be a NO HUNTING ZONE! and a NO CHAINSAWING ZONE!
as well. For all this hard work we were rewarded with chocolate and badges saying "I am a Living Legend" which is completely right because we are to the new Bush down at Bushy Point!
