Waihopai river planting


Today we did planting at the Waihopai river. We got there on a bus and then we walked to the planting place. We had planted 250 flax bushes. We did them on hill and the muddy ground. We were there from 9:15 to 11:50. You had to put a mat around the flax then put 4 Bamboo sticks in the 4 holes on the mat then put this  plastic maroon bag over the plant to keep it warm inside.We came back and had lunch and now I am doing my blog post.

Week 2 at Enrich

Today we started with passion time I did chemistry with Kyle and Hyrum. First we did an experiment called "Eating Nails for Breakfast". You had to get some cornflakes, a plastic bag and water. Next, you crunch up the cornflakes and put them in a plastic sealed bag.  Next put some water in the bag and let it set for 5 minutes. Then you get a magnet and you will see iron flakes. After that we had morning tea and then played chess. At 11.30am we did Must dos and Picks. For that I did a garden design. Then it was time for lunch and now we are doing our blog post.
