More Planting!




Today it was open to the school to help get our seedlings planted up into the root trainers.

Well done to all the juniors who came up so enthusiastic! They filled the root trainers so the middle and senior syndicate children could pot the seedlings.

What a great school team effort.

Plant Propagating




Senior students had their first experience of potting up seedlings into root trainers today. The memorable thing from their first experience must be ANTS!

Yes, ants were happily nesting through the root trainer box. Hence some children were on the task of eliminating ants while others started to pot up some seedlings donated by Titoki Nursery.

However, at the end of the day the ants won and we retreated until we can deal with the invasion!

Roll on ant stories next week.
