The out going Parents Association kindly donated a lovely cherry blossom tree to the school. We decided to plant the tree in the front yard so everyone will be able to see it in full bloom next year. The fourth and fifth class worked hard digging the hole, pulling the roots of the plant, giving the plant a fine bed of compost, backfilling with soil and watering the plant. We all learnt about the elements needed for plants to grow so it was a great lesson. Check out the pics below!
