On the 2nd of March we went with Room 14 to the Auckland Botanic Gardens. We had a great day. Here are some photos of the trip.

We also wrote recounts based on what happened during the trip. On the 2nd of March we went to the Botanic Gardens with room 14. First we did a bug hunt. We searched for some bugs on plants. I saw a baby ladybug, it was very interesting. Next we followed our guide Suzy to the gardens. We made Sucker Sauce and powerful powdery mould potion. I made Sucker Sauce. Next we went to the classroom to learn about bugs. We each got into groups and got cards of each bug. We have to sort out what order does it need to make a bug. Our one was a moth. After, we went outside and got our own bean plant. I was very happy. Then we planted lettuce and raddish. Suzy said that lettuce and raddish are companions. This means that they work very well together. When I was planting the raddish I made a bit of a mistake. Then we ate our lunch in our group. After, we went to the garden to complete our guide book. I went with my group, Miss Pinder and Sarah-Mei's mum. It was fun. Sarah-Mei picked a strawberry and ate it. Actually, I picked it but she ate it! Then we played for a minute. Finally we went on the bus and got back. We brought our bean plants too. It was a fun trip! By Honoka

On the second of March Rooms 15 and 14 went on a trip to the Botanic Gardens. When we arrived we got out of the bus and I met Kayra's mum. She was nice. Then we met the people in my group like Kayra, me, Finn, Hamish and some others. The first thing we did was having morning tea. The second thing we did was we went into an environment class room. The classroom was cool. I liked the classroom and I thought it was interesting because we talked about what a plant needs to grow, like water. After all that we went over to plant a plant. When we did that we went back to have lunch. We went back again to get our bean we planted then we went back over to go home. I had a great time. By George
