Ivy and Weeds - Tane Mahuta

Salut! Today in Tane Mahuta my friends and I got to get out all the extra ivy and weeds. They were everywhere!

We started with the weeds, we got ready by putting on our gloves and getting all the equipment we need. Shovels and pitchforks were surprisingly all out so we had to use our hands.

Picking out every little bit with gloves was hard and we quickly got tired from all the sitting down we had done. We asked the teacher if we could move onto pulling out the ivy and the teacher said yes!

When we first started Tane Mahuta we would always be busy with the ivy but then we had to focus on our new native tree garden. My friends and I had forgotten how many insects live there, we picked up a log and Nevaeh screamed because she is afraid of spiders.

Every Wednesday is a new adventure in Tane Mahuta. Sometimes it can be gross and you might feel like you just want to be inside of the class, in the warmth. But, seeing the end result would be soo satisfying because you know you've worked hard for it.
