We did lots of tree inspired writing this week, and it helped us to reflect on how important trees are to us, as well as process some of the feelings that we have about deforestation and our role in helping the planet. We identified banana passionfruit around the outside of the school grounds that we would like to control, and we planted a kowhai to replace a non-native tree that had been taken out last year. We have dreamed up plans to plant MANY many more! Rātā are fiercely passionate about trees, thank you for giving us the chance to explore the topic.
