Our Orchard

On Friday citizen scientist Stan Swan helped Room1 create a record of the growth of the fruit trees in our Muritai School orchard.

First we learned about the different types of trees and the fruit that will grow on these trees if we look after them. There are pear, apple, plum and feijoa trees.
We each chose a tree to help look after and Stan took photographs of us holding the name labels.
We checked out how tall the trees are now by comparing our heights with our tree.
We will do this again at the end of each year to see how much the trees have grown!
