Clearing and planting day

Hello there people of the internet on friday the 18 of october Room7 and a Pirongia school class went up to the pirongia lodge to do a clearing and planting day for their outdoor classroom. We were planting a few hundred plants for the surronding area that was bare and full of blackberry. It wasn't as simple as digging a hole and shoving it in, no. We had to locate an area, clear it out and then dig a hole and plant it. Hence the name clearing and planting.

Ag day

on wednesday the 16 of october the PTA had put up a agricultural day for the students of te pahu school to show off the animal that they have trained over the holidays at the event. it was a time for the students to show off their animal and what it did best in. the three events were call and follow, leading and rearing. the catergorys of animals were lambs goats and calfs. there were some people who didn't do an animal instead they did a home challenge/alternative challenge. this included a bird house, portable garden, 3D canvas, stump design and sandpit design. on the day if people weren't doing a animal they would be doing clay modelling, photography, cupcake decorating and t-shirt design.
