Tree Planting

Wednesday 2nd September 2015, Room 15 went tree planting out in Spooners (Coronation Forrest).

First when we got there we were split into group A, B or C.  Zoe and I were in group A.

Then after we got split into groups, group A and B went on the bus and group C stayed at the shelter and measured trees. Group A did tree planting, We used a hoe/grubber to dig with. We planted baby pinus radiata trees while Group C was doing a conservation trail walk.

After we all finished doing our activities we switched activities, Group A went on the conservation trail walk, Group B went and did tree measuring and group C did tree planting.

On the conservation trail walk we learned about a lot of native trees and ate some 'pepper leaf' it was really hot!  We also tried some honey drops off the beach trees, it was a really good walk and it was interesting and we learnt a lot about different types of trees.

After we finished that we had our lunch then we switched activities again and group A went tree measuring group B went on the conservation walk and group C went tree planting.

After all the activities we had a talk and said our farewells.  It was a really good, fun day and we can't wait to do it again!

Broadgreen comes out on top

24 Netball teams hit to the courts wanting to get one of the three trophies on offer.

This was one of the many sports being played for Winter Tournament over the days of Thursday and Friday. 

Netball was held at Saxton Netball Courts and many schools like Golden Bay, Buller, Bohally, Renwick, Waimea, Nelson Int, Broadgreen Int, Prep, Nelson Christian Academy, St Pauls and St Josephs take part. 

On Thursday everyone played 5 games of 12 min halves. After all the games had finished they were split into grades to play on Friday. 

On Friday it was drizzling but still okay to play. Everyone kept their gear upstairs so that it remained dry. They played 3 games and when finished everyone went upstairs for prize-giving.

Broadgreen took out the tournament by winning A grade.

Everyone had heaps of fun even through it was raining. It was a great day and it ran very smoothly!!!
