Growing My Own Kowhai Trees




 











I really wanted to find a Kowhai seed pod and one day dad came home from work with a Kowhai seed pod. Then dad said that we would plant them tomorrow. These are the steeps that we did. 1: Chip a little piece of the seed so you can see the cream coloured bit inside also make sure that you don't chip it where the seed sprouts from. 2: Put them in water and leave them to sit for 24 hours when they sink or swell they are ready to plant. 3: Plant them in a seed tray with seed raising mix it should only take 7 days to sprout and make sure to water them every second day.



 I loved growing my Kowhai seed's because it will look beautiful when it grows into a tree in my garden.

This is my nature creation, it is called shell academy where fairy's paint shells. There is some shells everywhere. The shell academy is next to the beach. T

hey have a little house where they all stay. That house has a path down to the beach on each side of the path there are pointy shells I think they are beautiful. I also made a mural by sticking little stones onto a piece of wood and there is a letterbox with a letter in side. The letterbox is a shell and the letter is a shell with little stones on it to.                             


I enjoyed this but also found it challenging.

Nature Hunt



These are the pictures of what I found when I had the day off school!  We had the day off school because our wonderful principal said that we had been working so hard in lock down and that it was sunny so to celebrate we could have the day off school! We had only one task to do and that was to find some things that were out in nature. I didn't find all of the things but I did find some and that is what all of these  photos are and now I am going to describe what they are:                                      

The concrete fence is symmetrical, the flax has stripes, there is a cloud in the sky above the ocean the ocean is also wet and cold, the shell is intricate, when I rub my head across the tramp walls it goes all spiky because of the static electricity that was something I never noticed before, Pohutakawa flowers are beautiful, Lincoln, Hugh the dog and I playing in the waves is something special,  the moss is soft and the sand is soft to, the pink flower is tiny, Hugh and I playing on the beach makes me happy, the daffodil smells nice and the kiwi is unique to our country.  

I really enjoyed this day off school! and I just want to say thanks Mrs King!
