On Thursday 23rd of August 2017, Room 15 and a class from Pukete School completed a project called Trees For Survival.
We planted the trees because they help New Zealand grow and supply the land with fresh oxygen, but most of all, it helps stop water pollution in the Waikato River as the roots of the plants stablise the soil.
The staff from fonterra showed how we should plant like green fingers.
Before we had to put the plant in the hole, we had to make sure a little tablet was in that hole. This 'tablet' acts as a fertilizer for the plants to make them grow fast, strong, and overall better for the environment. We had to make sure to carefully take the plant out of the bag, then level the stalk with the ground.
Everyone had to check that it wouldn't pull out, so we had to stomp the loose dirt around the plant so it could get a better grip onto the soil.
Room 15 and Pukete had to plant about 600 plants around the Fonterra factory.
We are a class of awesome year 5/6 children at Vardon School. Check out our class e-journal to find out what's happening in our class and school. We enjoy using our own e-journals to share our learning. We love receiving comments and replying to them so please leave us a comment

My Art picture
In room 15 the year 5s have been doing squiggling art. I used Blue, Orange, Red, Green, Yellow and purple. It was pretty easy but every colour took ages to colour. We have been only doing this for two days and a bit. This art could go for sale for my art shop when i'm older and every day i can look back and see the art.
We had to melt or blend the colours so it looks like its actually 3D.

I’m Reghan i'm going to talk to you about my story about when i got struck by lightning. I was walking to school and it was raining I couldn't go in car because my Mum was running late for work, and i didn't have a sweatshirt on and the Lightning struck my arm but then the flash made me the smartest person alive. When i got to school I was late and it was Reading time and I'm Reading a chapter book and everyone was ahead of me and i looked at the book I read it in five seconds.
