Farm Trip Whangara, Term 2

            1. Farm trip at Whangara

2. The cold air was so freezing cold i had to drag my jacket over my head and even that was a struggle to do in the wind that blew so hard it made you numb all over  Andrew and Renee told about seeds like Croksfoot , lotus, plantain, rye, e.c.t.

3. We trudged along in our gum-boots into the plantain field all of us were shivering. the majority of us crouched down so that we could look for, four-leaf clover. I found 4 of them very sadly 3 of them blew away when i was distracted or showing someone the clover.

4. All of the girls in our class jumped back into our mini-bus and drove along to Pa Rd to look at what the river and it's water had done to the earth surrounding the river. The water had eaten into the ground and you could see it very clearly from where we were on the bridge.

5. Then we went to the woolshed were they shaved and bundled up the wool thay had collected from the sheep. I can not believe that they expected us to sit on the pooey sacks of wool and eat our lunch!

it was so disgusting i couldn't stomach any food or water otherwise I probably would of puked all over my marmite samwich, so i just stumbled around holding my stomach.

6. On the car ride back to school us girls were practicing our kapa haka songs and solos. most of us were singing wildly and loudly while the rest of us just sang quietly to ourselves. the farm trip was so wet and cold but still a great experience.

Here Renee tells us about the different grass types and how they work and what they do on their farm. She also told us about the trials they do.
