Tane Mahuta

This term we had a choice of what we wanted to do during cip I chose tane Mahuta. Last week we when to the back of the school because there was a area that had soil in tyres, logs of wood and tarpaulin. First our aim was to get the soil out of the tyres and put them in a pail then Carrie them to the back of the area once the tyres were moved we had to remove the accesses soil left over by the tyres.we also moved the tarpaulins and logs to the back. 

This week we were turning the soil so it was soft and healthy because the more we loosen the soil the quicker we can plant. once it was loose we mix the original soil with fresh soil to make it better for plants.


We found so many worms in the soil. this is because worms can not survive the sun and because Worms help to increase the amount of air and water that gets into the soil
