Trees For Survival day

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.
