Treeplanting

On Wednesday the tree planting people went to Bombay. We went to plant the trees. The farm lady prepared a Beautiful lunch for the tree planting people. We had sausages, hash browns, chicken nuggets, chips, bread and samosas. We went for trees of survival.

We planted over 600 trees for the Trees for Survival project. Wehad a lot for fun because there was a little dog there. She was a distraction but in a good way her cuteness was just understanding. The dog’s name was Rosie.

We were planting the trees on a hill so we had to stand sideways and dig. If we stood in front when we dug we had a high chance of falling back. If we stood on the side if we fell we would roll down on our side but if our backs were facing the back if we felt we would be rolling down my backs.

We had lunch there. The lunch was wonderful. The way she made the food was just so delicious. The hashbrowns and nuggets were cooked nicely. We also had dessert there. We had marshmallows, sponge cake brownies and pink slices.

It was fun seeing animals there, mostly cows and one dog. It was really exciting when we arrived at the farm. It was a long one hour drive but it was worth it. I sat with my friends on the bus and when you arrived at the farm we were all so excited. It was fun sharing my experience going to a Farm to tree plant.
