Dear Mr Burt,

This term room 10 have been learning about native trees/bush. We have been wanting to plant some native trees or bushes. I have been wondering if we could plant some harakeke and the pohutukawa tree. We have some growing on the reserve and would want some on our school grounds. I want to plant the harakeke bush because I want   to learn to weave. Also  the harakeke bush grows really well in gardens and wet places including near the creek. The pohutukawa tree is beautiful and is one of the most famous trees in NZ. The pohutukawa tree will grow well in well drained soil. I think we need to build a water system  so the soil  has lots of water and will help the pohutukawa tree grow well.

We would want to do this at the end of term 1.

Here are some photos of where we would like to plant some.

Kind regards,

Jahzara
