Planting a Tree

Room 1 wanted to plant a tree so native birds can come and make nests in the tree.  They can then lay lots of eggs.  We asked Mrs Simpson and she said, "Yes!"  Mrs Simpson bought a tree for our class to plant.  We liked digging out the dirt.  It was very hard for us to use the spade to dig the dirt out.  We had fun picking out all the dirt.  We saw a pink wriggly worm.  Connor put the tree in the hole.  We put the dirt back in the hole.  Jack and Dylan put the grass back around the tree.  We had to step on the grass to make it flat.  Yippee, yahoo!  We did it together!  What great team work!  Thank you Mrs Simpson.

Oh no!  When we were planting our tree, we saw a rat in the chicken coup.  We saw the whole head poking out of a hole and its tail.  It was trying to sniff the eggs.  The rat smelt!  We hope it gets trapped.
