Mangaone Station

This week was a crazy and fun week, yesterday the government assumed  that they had found a case of delta in NZ!!! After the case corisbonded positive, the prime minister Jacinda Ardern had put the whole of NZ in level 4 after midnight!!! She had said specifically that she doesn´t want NZ to go through what Sydney had. The delta case had been tested in positive in Auckland, so Auckland will probably be in level 4 for longer than the rest of the country. 

But otherwise MLH and I went to Mangaone Station, we were lining up to go. And then Koka Rozie did a role to know if everyone was here, next we were told who was driving us. My cars driver was Bef Finn Emerre's mum, in my car I have Harry G, Harry M, Troy, Jandre, and last but not least Finn, When we got there the teachers told us what we would be doing and also put us into two groups, ¨the first thing that we are going to participate in today is¨ started Koka Rozie, ¨the activities that we are going to start doing is planting and mulching¨.

Once Koka Rozie had told us all what we were doing we got stuck in. I thought mulching would be disgusting but it was actually fine, I kind of enjoyed it actually I loved working with nature, so I keeped on running around trying to find a plant to put mulch around. And if my bucket had no mulch in it I would sprint as fast as my legs could carry me, to refill the bucket. 

At morning tea me and some other boys went to sit by the little river. I followed the river if there were any deep bits, when I come across this like pool looking bit, it had looked like you could do a mano in there or even swim. Koka Pip and Koka Rozie had given us a warning not go near Olly must not have heard, because he started to walk along the bank of the river, he eventually came back up to sit back down eat. But then a little while later Olly had gotten up and jumped to the other side of the river and said" It's easy as" so then some of the other boys went to join in. The teacher had spotted them and to them to get of the other sides river bank. The teacher had told them to get back on the grass to eat. The Koka Pip had told us why she had given us a warning, it was because Cory's brother had gotten bitten by and eal near the river.

Once we had finished morning tea we went back to planting and mulching. But this time the mulching team/team1 had to swap with the planting team/team 2, so my team had to plant now I wasn't really into planting but still got the job done when needed. When we had run out of plants and mulch we stopped and grouped up, the teachers told us we were going to see the lambs get feed, when she had told us everyone sprinted to were the lambs were keeped. When we got there at first the lambs were scared of us and then they started to get chilled and most of us held them, and then showed other kids how they like to be held. The next thing we were going to do was look at the old bush we planted, well not me but other kids from my class.

Once we had cheeked out the old bush that some kids from my class planted we went back to were our stuff was. When we got back some kids including me went down into were the sheep would go after being sheered.  It was dirty down there but I mean what would you expected.
