Our orchard trip to R.J Flowers

We were so fortunate to be able to go to Mrs Buckmans family orchard and have a look around. We saw lots of interesting things when we were there including being lucky enough to go into the coolhouse. Do you know its only -4 degrees in there!

It was so cool to stand under the Kiwifruit plants. We learnt that Kiwifruit grow on vines and hang underneath the branches and leaves to protect themselves from the sun and rain.

Here was our class with our lovely helpers. Thank you so much parents for coming in to help us we wouldn't have been able to go without you.

At the end of our trip we got to pick a apple to eat for morning tea. We learnt to get all the spray off it we had to rub it on our tops really hard. This was so much fun and made the apples go really shiny! We loved our orchard trip and seeing for ourselves all the things we have learnt about this term.
