We emailed John Stilton to tell him how much we enjoyed planting and that we would like to come again. He said that he was really grateful for our time and we organised another trip. When we arrived we had a big day ahead. We planted four Manuka trees. We also planted the rest of the baby flax.
What we have learnt is about is communication. We have improved on our organisation as well! Last time we weren't completely organised when we arrived. We planned a next steps list for our second trip. We had to remember coats, raincoats, lunch and gumboots. Last time we felt a little unprepared so we made sure we were each responsible for what we needed to bring and printed out a checklist for the day. We also listened to John, we were open-minded to whatever he asked us to do.
Our next steps are to encourage others to join in. We talked to Mrs Cary, our Enviro teacher and asked if we could do a presentation to let children and families know about the Working Bee that is held at Travis Wetlands every month. The next one is on the 21nd of September. We are going to try to get a team together to join us and help! We will do our presentation on the first Enviro meeting next term.

Sounds like your second trip went really well--super that you learned so much from your first in terms of organisation and being prepared. Hope the presentation goes well!
