Every Wednesday I go to attend "Tane Mahuta". It is all about nature, so this term we've decided to make an outdoor classroom. The area where it is going to be built in an area at the very back of the school where no one goes since it is locked.
When we first started Tane Mahuta it was raining, so we obviously couldn't do work. But we looked at the place we where going to be working at, the ground was filled with rotten butternuts and pumpkins. Disgusting, I know. But the following Wednesday we cleared it up alongside the indoor classroom.
The indoor classroom was also filled but butternuts and pumpkins but luckily they weren't rotten. Inside there were expensive but rusty machines and some of the caretaker's belongings.
What we did today...
Today a couple of friends and I cleared out some of the Ivy that was growing all around the edge of the fence. We first started thinking this was going to be easy and that we could quickly do this in 1-2 periods. But boy were we wrong! The plant had been growing there for soo long that the roots had become strong that we thought it was nearly impossible!
Since Risha wasn't here only Nevaeh and I were working on a very strong trunk from a chopped down tree. I had tried to get it out myself but it didn't work. But Nevaeh and I did it together! It was a big accomplishment since it was actually really stubborn! We then moved onto another plant but its roots are really deep in the soil, so we'll probably need 1-2 more sessions to get it out.
I'll post next week and hopefully have more information!
