Year 6 Harakeke Planting

Harakeke planting 

Last Wednesday the Year 6 Whanau Group Leaders and Year 6 Enviro Group leaders planted harakeke. The harakeke was donated by the WCC and the planting session was led by our enviro schools facilitator Amanda Dobson.

We started by listening to the creation story. Thanks for reading it to us Amanda.

We planned before where we thought the best place to plant the harakeke would be.

Thank you to our caretaker John for digging the holes into the hard clay! We put some clay breaker into the holes before we planted the harakeke.

Here we are with what it looked like before!

What a beautiful day for planting!

Watering the harakeke.

We finished with a mihi. 

We are looking forward to watching our harakeke grow. We'll miss Johnsonville School! But we've left a legacy!!!
