Planting A Tree

On Thursday November the 4th Mr.Farquhar came to our school to plant a tree. He wanted to plant a tree because he loves nature and when he retired he wanted a tree planted. He choose Mrs.Dressel's class because last year he taught most of the students in her class. So first he got three people from Mrs.Dressel's class to dig a hole after we spotted some where to plant the tree. Then Mr.Farquhar choose two people from the year book in Mrs.Dressel's class to take photographs. Then the five people went outside and dug the hole. When they were done they invited the rest of the class to come outside and plant the tree with them. Mr. Farquhar put some compost in the hole and in the compost there was fruit, tea bags, orange peels, seeds and a lot of other things. While Mr.Farquhar was planting the tree the the rest of the class was watching him. When the tree was planted someone asked what the tree's name was so Mr.Farquhar told us to close our eyes and think of a name.Then when we thought of a name we opened our eyes and he said if you named it Japanese Maple you are exactly right. So everybody named their tree Japanese Maple but they added another name after Japanese Maple. After we planted the tree we came inside and had some timbits!!! It was super fun!!
