I want to be a Snail

If  I had another life I would be a lazy snail.

Snails don't have to go to school and do homework. They don't have to worry about a thing like an earthquake.

Snails travel in their own time, slowly moving around their environment. They leave a trail of greasy slime for people to follow.

Whenever , I  felt lazy or tired I would snuggle into my cosy shell and go to sleep. My favourite thing to do is to munch all day long on juicy garden leaves.

That is why I want to be a lazy, fat snail!!!!

Joe's Wisdom - Planting Burnham School's Orchard

TOday the Enviro rangers planted gorgous apple trees. Joe taught us how to plant them. some of us planted three big saplings. Joe cut the bags around the trees. Then we pulled the trees out of the bags that Joe had cut and put them in the holes next to the sapling. Then we put the dirt the around the trees and also flattened down the part around the trees. Next we shoveled the rest of the dirt in to a wheelbarrow. After every thing was finished we found grass grubs . Joe told us to kill them all because they eat roots,grass and plants. by Kayla and Haden

Enviro Rangers plant the Orchard



 Today the enviro rangers planted trees. Joe taught us how to plant the orchard, he cut the black plastic band and we picked them up and put them in the hole. Then we put dirt into the gaps, Emelia and Haden planted different trees compared to us. Sophie had the lucky job ,she did the photos and they were fantastic. While I was planting a tree Joe came long and told me to kill all the grass grubs because they kill the plants and hurt the grass. When we were on the last tree we found lots of grass grubs. Everyone did not know what they were but I did and I told them to kill them and they did. When we were finished we named our plants I named mine apples. I felt really good about planting new trees for our school and so did everyone else.

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.
