This morning Room 20 walked to Puhi-Kura to pull weeds. We were pulling weeds from around the base of the native plants so that they can grow bigger and stronger, this is called weed releasing.
‘I enjoyed pulling weeks because it was saving plants that were being suffocated.’
‘Me and Lucas made it light work.’
‘I really enjoyed it, it was my first time weeding.’
‘I love going to Puhi-Kura, it was fun there but I did not like the hot weather.’
‘I did not enjoy pullin gthe weeds because it was hot and itchy.’
‘I enjoyed it but it was hard pulling weeds.’
‘I enjoyed weeding, it was fun finding the roots of the weeds and pulling them out.’
‘I enjoyed helping mother nature.’
‘I was happy when I pulled out big chunks.’
After morning tea we spent some time in the school māra to feed and water the animals. Some of us helped to clean out the pig pen and house so that they had a fresh clean place to eat and sleep.
We ended the day with whole school kapa haka, we were practising for Te Wiki o te reo Māori in a couple of weeks time.
