On the 20th of march 2010,our school St Joseph's Waitara decided to put our plan into action, to solve the problem of our boggy school fields. We all took part in helping to find some solutions to the problem which was to develop a wetland next to our school grounds.
After lots of thinking and drawing we drew up a plan with the help of David-john Cole that would work.De Welch put the sketch out to all of the experts who helped with the final design. Thankfully we got the help of Project Crimson,Rudd Klienpaste and the Treemendous Makeover Team,by writing in 150 words or less why we deserve the wetland makeover.
We ha an awesome day of gardening and well being famous,considering that the newspaper was there:). Iyarna,Madison and Casey were lucky enough to get into the newspaper.
The wetland has had a lot of things happen to it over its early years.
We have had weeds overtake the plants but we now have a solution to the problem at hand but we can write about that another day.
