Tanemahuta Planting Trees At Tarere Marae

On Wednesday last week our class went to Tarere Marae to plant trees. We went there because it is our school thing.

First we got there in cars, we got there in Mrs Hannah`s, Lisa`s, Meg`s, Mel`s, Katie`s and Quintina`s cars. We got there in cars so that the parents could help us with the planting. Mrs Hannah took her husband's truck so that she could take all of the trees to the Marae.

Then we helped Katie to unpack. We were unpacking gloves, spades and the BBQ. We also helped everyone taking the plants out of Mrs Hannah`s truck. There were different types of trees that we had.

After that we pulled out the weeds from the garden with the gloves and spades. We had to pull the trees out by the roots so that the whole plant came out. Jake and I were looking for some weeds to pull out, then we saw a big hill filled with weeds and plants looking like Shout About trees. Once we started pulling out the weeds we saw Marcus then he wanted to help us and we said yes. Marcus got a spade and helped pulling out the weeds. Then Jake and I both got a spade so that we could help Marcus to pull out the weeds. After a bit we found a slide inside of what we were digging. Then we told everyone what we found, then they went down the slide everyone was muddy after. After that Marcus, Jake and I kept on digging the whole. Marcus was using his spade as a pick-axe. After about 10 mins we finished digging out the whole hill filled with weeds. Everyone was clapping at the end because we finally finished.

In the end I was sweating from digging out all of the weeds. We also helped everyone packing. We were packing the spades and gloves away. I was very tired at the end from doing all that work, it was very hard pulling all the weeds out. I got a sausage sizzle in the end I also got a lollipop. I got grape.
