Have you ever done tree planting? Well we were going to do tree planting. The teacher had organised a tree planting day and well it was the 10th August so we had to go to this farm to do tree planting. The owner of the farm was Jocelyn, Mark and Rosie, Rosie was this very cute puppy. When we got to school we had to get on the bus and then we were on the bus for about 30 minutes and then we arrived at the place.

When we arrived at the farm Jocelyn was waiting for us and then we all hopped out and then we walked on this rocky path into the very big shed. When we got into the shed we had to sit down and Jocelyn let us have some food before we went to the place where we had to plant the trees. In total, there were about 600 native trees we had to plant, however the terrain of the place we were planting was very steep and was kinda dangerous because if you were to slip you would roll right into the fence or you would hit one of the pinecones. When we started we all grabbed shovels and me sahib and Ryan all stayed at the top of the mountain and we planted a couple of trees each and then we went down the mountain and planted the trees in these holes they were already made. We were planting for a couple hours and then we had finally finished, then we went back to the shed we’re Jocelyn had made us some food .

All the food looked so good there were tacos, madirans, hash browns, nuggets and lots more. Every single one of us grabbed a napkin and then we ate the food and I even got the job of using the water gun on the shovels. After we all ate we were allowed to play for a bit longer before we had to go back to the bus and then we had to ride for another 35 mins. 

After the experience of tree planting I must say I loved it so much it was so fun and the food was so good and I loved Rosie the dog so much because he was so cute.

Do you like swimming or know how to swim? Well on Wednesday the 3rd of August we had to go swimming so we had to pack swimming gear, towels and a plastic bag and then I left. When we got to school the teachers said that the day would be messy because one of the teachers were not here so they had to split the class in half. After a while it was time for us to go swimming so we ate for 20 mins and played a bit then we had to go on the bus and then we arrived at the manurewa  leisure centre pools.

When we got to the pools we had to go inside and since the pools were closed we were allowed to use the public changing rooms. After we got changed we went to the pool area and we had to sit on the bench and wait for the other half of the class to finish their swimming lesson. When they finished we had to go sit on the side of the pool and the first lesson they taught us was how to get in the pool safely and then they wanted us to show them our freestyle and after that they decided our groups by what we need to learn more on. There  were three groups : breathing, kicking and the third group. I was not sure about the third group however the group I got into was breathing.

As soon as we got sorted into our group the first thing we had to do was freestyle so she could see what we had to work on. After that she told us that we were using our hands the wrong way then she told us to dig our hands in the water when we freestyle. After freestyle she made us do dolphin dive, dolphin dive is where you have your hands on top of each other and you are under the water and you have to kick with your legs. We also did this other one we’re we had to hold this board with one hand and have your other hand on your side and after every 4 kicks you lean your head to the side then take a deep breath then repeat those same moves. Then we had finished and we had to get changed then we got back to school in the bus.

I enjoyed swimming with my friends and I just loved swimming in general and I am very excited for future swimming lessons and I could be better at swimm
