Q5: 'The Tree Planting' - Read the passage aloud

On Friday, the school held a tree planting event. Each class planted a native tree in the playground. Lily dug a hole and placed a young gum tree inside. Her friends helped cover the roots with soil and water it. 'This tree will grow tall,' said their teacher. They made signs with the tree’s name and date. Over time, the students watched the leaves grow and birds visit the branches. 'We’re helping the planet,' said Lily. The trees became part of the school’s story.
