Plum Tree

By -
Today Mrs Leeson gave Hamilton East School a plum tree to plant in the Kitchen Garden. 
We planted it behind the dental clinic because one day this could be a great orchard area.

 
Look at the roots of the plum tree.
 
Thankfully Dugan had dug a hole for us earlier. We put fertiliser in when we planted it. This will help it grow faster. Then we piled more soil in the hole.


Mrs Leeson had thought of everything, not only, did she have fertiliser she also had worm juice. We mixed this in with the water to help the plum tree grow stronger.

Look at gorgeous Room 14 with the new plum tree for our school.
Here is a vimeo of Room 14 helping to plant the tree.

    WOW!! That looks so cool but hard work. The roots are so huge. I wonder how big it will be when it gets bigger,and the tree is so big. I remember planting a mandarin tree with my family . It was big too. Now there are already lots of mandarins on it.

    Wow! Great job Room 14 planting the plum tree. Once I tried to plant a flower but my Dad threw it out. I wish when is the plums going to be ready to be eaten. Thanks for Mrs Leeson for giving us the plum tree to plant in our Kitchen Garden. I can see little shoots coming out of the plum tree.

    I planted a tree and the dirt got all over me. After all the planting I had to water it. I am very surprised how big the roots were.

We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace.   The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree.  They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Swimming

Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.
