Tane Mahuta - Tree Hugging

This morning Room 12 spent some time looking in awe at the Redwood tree. We decided to see if we could get the whole class round the base of the trunk and give it a great big hug!

This is our movie ....




and some photos of this magnificent tree!

  6. The Red Wood tree is amazing. It's beautiful when you look up the Red Wood tree and see all the branches sticking out .

  7. I loved hugging the Redwood tree. It was so funny and very interesting but my favourite part was finding the ancient foot holds and feeling the worn in bark of the Redwood and looking up through the branches.

  8. Hugging the tree felt strange, but if you look at someone else hugging the tree it's funny. When you look up you can see how big the tree really is!
