National Tree Day!!



Yesterday was National Tree Day here in Australia. We went out to the North Oval with the 3/4 classes and the other 1/2 grades and we planted heaps of little indigenous plants! They were tiny and super cute but they will all grow up to be an amazing native garden. They will be habitat for insects and birds and it will help our school look beautiful.

To make it even more exciting, we were on the television. Our school was chosen to be on a TV show called The Circle. A woman called Ellisha came and interviewed some of the 3/4 students. The rest of us were in the background. We had a sign that said "Bell Primary Loves Trees". We got to wave at the TV camera, it was fun.

You can see the clip in the family and community section of The Circle website.

Today we planted trees because it was Tree Day and in the first lesson we planted them and in the second lesson we spread mulch and one of the grasses was feathery spear grass. Lucy
