Our Class Tree-ty

Room 8 have planted a Pohutukawa tree for our class tree-ty. Our class tree-ty is an agreement about the rules in our classroom. We created our tree-ty so everyone can be happy and have a great year in Room 8.

To create our tree-ty we split up into groups and we wrote ideas on paper. Then we shared our ideas with the rest of our class on the mat. We grouped our ideas that were the same, together. Then we wrote sentences for our tree-ty that included all our ideas. Everyone signed our tree-ty to say that they agree on it.

After we did our class tree-ty we went outside and planted our little Pohutukawa tree. We all had to have a squeeze of the red, plastic pot that the Pohutukawa tree was in. We were squeezing the pot because we were trying to get the Pohutukawa tree out because it was stuck. Miss Gentil helped us pull it out. We dug a hole in the big, brown pot and then we placed the tree in the hole. Then we covered the tree roots with soil. We had a group photo with our Pohutukawa tree. Now we are going to take care of our tree, until the end of the year when we will plant it outside.

Here is our class tree-ty.

In Room 8 we...


  • Be kind to everyone. 
  • Always use our manners. 
  • Work together as a team and help others. 
  • Always aim for excellence with our learning. 
  • Look after class and school equipment. 
  • Be good role models by making sensible choices. 
  • Have fun when we are learning!
