On Thursday P4/5 went to Leslie Field, next to Leslie Wood near Eastwood High School. – Joshua

We planted trees there and we needed to make a hashtag symbol in the ground with a shovel and it was quite hard. – Subhan

We had to push the spade down and tilt it on the last cut to take out the middle block of the earth and grass so that we could plant the tree in there. – Eilidh

We could choose if we wanted to plant Birch Trees or Oak Trees. – Matthew

After we planted the tree, we would put a biodegradable mulch mat around it. – Ellis

We put the mulch mat around it so all the grass and flowers underneath don’t get enough light so that they would die and the tree would get all the nutrients from the soil. It also helps so that you don’t stand on the trees. – Lily-Anne

We hammered pegs into the mulch mat at the corners to stop the mat from blowing away. – Olivia-Rose
