Action day - Harvesting kumara

 Action day -  Harvesting kumara 

We were off in the morning, Koka Rozie was writing all of our amazing ideas onto to a big whiteboard. After Koka Rozie  rote all of our interesting ideas onto the whiteboard, our class went outside and started  weeding all of the class gardens. It was hard work weeding and harvesting everything out of the gardens, with the boiling hot sun shining right on us.  It took lots of time, we all had to be resilient and determined to get it done. We went out in the gardens to harvest all the kumara we planted a few months ago and to dig out all the plants that were not meant to be growing in that place. An action day was to do heaps of work around our school, to make our school look nicer. 

Diggggg the bell loudly, for a long amount of time it was time,  it was time to go to morning tea.  Codie was coming to teach us some new things about being a 100/100 enviro school. Moana two ( That's my class ) came back in class after morning tea. Codie was ready to talk to us.  Codie comes to enviroschools and talks to them about what they are doing as an enviro school and how they could improve to get better than before. Codie told us lots of interesting things that I did not know before. She showed us lots of pitchers that were very interesting and asked us some questions while we were looking at the pitchers.   

Back in the garden we travelled ,harvesting kumara. To me it was very fun. One after another we found kurara. Digging aur hands around the kumara until you could pull the kumara out , without it breaking because you want one whole kumara not pices. Everybody's fingernails were very dirty from digging most of the day. It was very hard working in the hot heat. 

At the end of the day we had cleared out the whole garden, there was only soil left. I was proud of my self and my class. It was hard work. Have you ever heard the saying: Do the mahi get the treats, that's how I felt today when we started and did the mahi, then when we finished we got the treats by seeing that its done. Do you like weeding.
