Going to Charlesworth Reserve

Today I'm going to tell you about what happened when we went to Charlesworth Reserve. I made a blog post about Charlesworth Reserve and why we are planting it. There is some information about the Charlesworth Reserve. We went to Charlesworth Reserve on 3 July. There were some of all of us gardening and picking up rubbish sorry that I'm not in the pictures. There are 3 classes that went to the Charlesworth Reserve there're Wh, Ts, and us Al. There were 1 bus and 2 vans I decided to choose the bus because I like the bus when I was in the Philipines. When we arrived in Charlesworth Reserve Mr. Andrew guide us where are going to plant. We pick up a spade and down to the wetland. After we go down we listen to the instructions and group 2 people in one group. We're going to plant a water rush but they called it rush for short. I didn't get on a group because I take out my boots in my bag and wear it but I did my best when I was in solo. I planted 3 rush because can't see any rush now suddenly me and Axle found a rush beside us. I helped Axle plant 4 rush so now I have 7 rush planted. We only planted over 200 rush. After we planted all the rush we eat for our interval. After we eat we go to the Mitre 10. After we arrived at Mitre 10 we saw Andrew again and now he has gloves. The instruction now is to pick up all the rubbish that you see. We saw a lot of rubbish around there. After we clean all up we go back to the bus and go to school.

Here are the pictures⤵️.

In your group you need to:

1. Make a list of the 10 things you are going to collect.
2. Draw a map of the island.
4. Draw and label the activities you will be involved with.

• Renewable energy sites ( wind, solar, hydro, )
• Living/shelter
• Growing food
• Write 3 sentences about how your group is going to live for the next month.

When you are drawing your map you need to list 4 places you can have renewable energy sites.
