Tree planting at Bombay

Have you ever done tree planting? I went to kimber road Bombay with some of the students.The landowners were Jocelyn, Mark and Rosie of the farm. The people were helping and we went to the bus at 9:00 and the time it took to get there was 25 to 40 minutes . The Bombay hill place where we were going to plant was ginormous and we had a lot of work to be finished and we had to complete it and it would take a long time.

When we arrived at the place we found a puppy named Rosie. We patted it and played with it. Then Linzi told us what to do and how to do it. We went to the area where we were going to plant the trees. It wasn’t that far and Linzi gave us spades. Before that we ate our morning tea with some raro and they gave us some chairs to sit on . There were some cows in the field next to us. The place was filled with pine cones.

We planted over 600 trees and up the hill was the best view. The land was very steep. If you fall you will fall and keep falling and there is a fence at the bottom of the hill. so if you fall you will hit the fence. While we were planting the plants we’re in a bag so we had to take the bag out of the plant. Some of them broke or got stuck in the bag which we needed help to get out. Then we had to put in hard so the pukicko couldn’t get the trees out.

While we were planting we had to level the plant where the grass was. I was feeling hyped up on that day and it was a lot of fun and then when we finished we got to have an awesome lunch. There were marshmallows,chicken nuggets,chips, samosas,samosas.sausages,and gluten free sausages,taco rolls and buns. Then after we ate cake and some other food they added raro and water. It was an awesome lunch.

When we were going back to school the bus was very chaotic. We looked out the window and we saw big terrains and cool views. When we were in the bus we had great experience it was so fun when we were at tree planting I wish I could do it again and the tree planting made my day that was probably one of the best school days of my life and it helped the environment a lot so I’m very happy I signed up for it.

Swimming programme is great for you

When I got up, ate my breakfast and looked at the date it was the day to go swimming, I was very excited because I haven’t gone swimming in years and I was prepared. The night before I went to sleep I put on my togs,goggles,towel and swimming cap.  My mom told me that  swimming has benefits which are very good for you so I went to the swimming program which was good.

Swimming can be the best thing you need to know. It actually helps you a lot and swimming helps kids all around the world so there will be less kids drowning in the ocean in a flood or in a tsunami. The people that last year died was a lot so to decrease that we have to learn how to swim so we can help others. Now let’s try to make no one die and to do that we need to swim a lot.

Swimming is good for you and it is very fun to learn and you can do very cool moves like a back strove and it’s kind of relaxing. When you swim you can be a hero e.g saving someone while they are drowning in a flood or tsunami. So you can be a hero and have fun at the same time so be a hero. When you need to help someone just be the one who everyone likes and help them and they will be thankful.

​​Swimming keeps your heart and lungs healthy, increases stamina and even improves balance and posture. Which can save your life in a tsunami or in a flood which you can live if that happens. When you swim it can make you faster and faster which can win races and make your parents proud or by swimming.

Try to encourage your friends if your school has somewhere to swim so they can teach their friends. So it will make a very big difference in the world. You can do team effort and help each other. You can swim and help your friends if they are struggling. If you have a friend that knows how to swim, you can do a 2 person swim. It’s ok if you need help one day you will be helping another person.
