Buzz Bees- planting for Treemendous

With a photo to prove it! We braved the mud and chill this morning to plant a tree for the school Treemendous project. There were a number of distractions, worm hunting and analysis being a major draw card, along with digging experts within Room 15 coming to the fore as they commented on the techniques of classmates. A very entertaining break to our normal classroom program.
