Apple Trees Arrive

Today Sophie, Isobel and I (Brenna) of the Enviro rangers went to Evergreen nursery and bought 4 apple trees, 1 cherry tree, 6 vegetable packs and 2 flower packs for the orchard behind room 9 and the vegetable garden. We found 4 apple trees that have nice juicy apples.

Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Butterflies- Information Report

Butterflies  are  flying insects that  are  seen  in the summer time.


The  butterflies lay their  eggs on a leaf. Then next the eggs hatch into caterpillars.  The caterpillars eat until they get fat.

Next caterpillars build chrysalis to live in. They turn into beautiful butterflies. Then the life cycle of a butterfly starts all over again.

We want You ‘'Enviro- ranger"

Burnham School Enviroschool I need some students to become enviro-rangers to help create an orchard at the back of room nine. The enviro-rangers must help design the orchid and what fruit trees are going to be planted. To be a Enviro- ranger means that you care about the well-being of the whole school, community and eco-system. It’s all about learning to support our environment so that it can also support us. We want to make our planet a better place. The Enviro-ranger’s philosophy empowers Burnham students, to make good decisions about relationships with others and with our environment. If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty and you have ideas to help Burnham’s school enviroment, please come to share lunch in Room 2 next Monday, so we can plan in creating the Burnham Orchard.

Well Done Burnham School

How to Plant a Tree

At Coes Ford they plant a variety of trees such as totora, kowhai and more. They do this to get birds back into the area. This is how to plant a tree.
First you have to dig a square hole big enough to fit the plant.

Second you have to have to place the fertilizer tablet in and cover with dirt,the tablet is used to increase the plants growth.

Now you need to take the plant out of the pot. If it gets stuck you need to apply pressure. Now you need to carefully place the plant in the hole, then cover with all the dirt.

You need to get the blankets and put it around the tree. This helps to keep the weeds away and vermon. Then you put one bamboo stick in the ground and slip the sleeve over the plant. Then put the other three bamboo sticks into the sleeve.

At the end of the day I felt good to be helping.
